I just had a really long post written- and I accidentally deleted the whole f'ing thing when I was editing.
I'm gonna break it down into the "retard version. "
Actual Time Spent
6am-10:45am
I got home at 11:30am and napped till 4pm. :roll:
Money Spent
10$ Gas
2$ Bridge Toll
3$ Tip I gave a guy driving a shuttle
$5 Funnel Cake
Free- Weekend pass to Infineon for Nascar 2004
I used to dislike Nascar
I now just dislike oval track racing.
I have a great respect for good drivers- not good cars.
Infineon is not equipped to handle the crowds that turn out for the Nascar events.
No one who works there knows anything. (not really their fault)
The make shift parking lot is more of a cow pasture.
There was an inch of cow shit on my Kumhos to prove it.
There was no one but security guards at Infineon when we arrived there at 6am.
We got into the Nascar pits because they thought we worked there..
There were coilovers everywhere.
I could've climbed into one of the cars and no one would've said anything.
There was no one around.
The elaborate tool chests made my mouth water.
I had a tiregasm when I was next to about 100 Hoosiers- sadly all too big for my car- I don't think I can get away with 305's
We were 10 feet away from the race cars in the Trans-Am pits.
Ear plugs are necessary as minimal sound protection.
You can feel the vibrations from the cars.
The Legends practice was fun to watch.
It's more fun to walk around scoping out the best spots to watch then sitting near the grandstands.
"My friend" dropped something next to a Dodge Concept car and scratched it.
There were a few of the Nascar race cars on display and we were there so early that we saw them being moved.
There is something very exciting about standing next to a 700hp car as it's started up.
Hicks came out of the woodwork for this event.
I was one of very few women there, and believe me I was checking out the ladies.
All of the men wore the same outfit
-Blue Jean Shorts
-Nascar or Patriotic Shirt of choice
-Beer Gut
Infineon has a strict No Lawn Chair policy.
Since we got there so early no one cared.
When we tried to get back through the tunnels they wouldn't let us because of the length of our bags carrying the fold out chairs!
We missed most of the Nascar practice because we were trying to get back to the car to put our chairs away.
We kept making wrong turns and being denied access everywhere due to the stupid chair policy.
At one point someone told us to go through the Jim Russell Racing School parking lot to get out..
When we got all of the way to the end- almost out, the security guards told us to turn around cause it was a "high impact zone." I couldn't understand why until 20 seconds later on the other side of a high wall we heard all of the race cars go screaming by! It was probably the closest to the actual cars racing we could've gotten...
Hearing and seeing the cars on tv doesn't do it justice.
I'll be going back to Infineon for ALMS, hopefully some others from the forum will show up.
