January 17, 20205 yr Holy shit. Ricky Bobbies everywhere. This re-affirms my belief that SEC country is filled with nothing more than dumb fucking rednecks. Did see an OU dude in there. I guess they are the SEC of the Midwest.
January 17, 20205 yr Talladega is the most redneck place I have ever been, full stop. Among things I have seen there include a 9 year old with his dad holding up a sign that said "tities please" (it's essentially redneck Mardis Gras with bead throwing and stuff), an old as dirt biker with a ZZ Top beard and a rebel flag Cat in the Hat hat on, another biker who back his Harley into his buddies tent at 6 am and revved it as high as it can go, and last but not least, three plastered dudes run over a black guy selling merch on the way in, promptly pull over, have the driver switch with one of the passengers, and the proceed on as if nothing had ever happened.
January 17, 20205 yr I went to a race at Talladega in 2001. It was the most redneck place I'd ever been. Looks like nothing has changed. And I'm a closet redneck.

Not trying to argue but I've never see anything on that level on gamedays. Most tailgates I've been around are normal people drinking beer having normal conversations of how much everyone hates Herman.

January 17, 20205 yr I think we were at the same race. First race there after Earnhardt died. No cautions. Bobby Hamilton won. Had to be 2001.

You know, now that you mention it, I think you are right. I remember all the hillbillys holding their hands out the window with three fingers up for Earnhardt. So, were you the guy that I saw run over the colored fella?

January 17, 20205 yr Daaang. I felt like a real trashy loser taking my kid to a monster truck show once. Can't imagine this.
January 17, 20205 yr Back when TMS first opened the campgrounds were like Talladega, full party mode.Well I guess Mom found out little Timmy saw some titties and all that came to a stop by 2010. It finally got so restrictive we quit going. Fuck 'em.

January 18, 20205 yr I was surprised how popular NASCAR is up in the Northeast, a few grannies I used to work with would make a pilgrimage to either Watkins-Glen, NH or Delaware for the races.

January 18, 20205 yr Was anyone else just a little relieved when your kid didn't show up in the video? Edited January 18, 20205 yr by mulletpelini whew

January 19, 20205 yr I've been to the Fall race at Charlotte, think it was '88. Oakwood Homes? Something like that. It was pretty spectacular for the humanity on display there even then. It's only gotten better it appears.

January 19, 20205 yr Could have been '87. Just looking at the race results and holy shit, that lineup either one of those 2 years was pretty much a who's who of NASCAR. A few memories etched in my mind from that day - 1) The guy sitting right in front of us with the "KKK" prison tattoo on the back of his hand.2) Some guy near us wearing a black t-shirt with "FUCK YOU, WE'RE FROM TEXAS" in 4" block letters. 3) The yahoo who was hanging onto the chain link fence right up at the track and when the pack would roar by he'd take off his crumpled up cowboy hat he'd swing it in circles and give Richard Petty a wave, telling him "Get ON IT!!". I like to think the King Richard saw Bubba there in the crowd and had been waiting for that signal. Edited January 19, 20205 yr by El Diablo

This guy (and his crew spread all around the track) is always a favorite distraction of mine whenever I attend a race. There's also a rival gang of dudes who vigorously point either directly at their driver every time he goes by, or to indicate the direction in which their driver should continue driving (hint: it's always Crowd Right.)
