Barry, I wish I had the funds and time to go all weekend, but I just go on Saturday. Have been doing this for on and off about 30 years. As my son got older, I started going every year as a father/son thing. I have had the same seats (reserved) for a few years now. I have 3 seats, one extra if someone wants to go next year. It is a blast and a 'fix' for a much needed rubber burning,nitro smelling ear shredding day. It is a long, long day and this year was blistering hot. I leave @ 5am and get home @2am. When a teen, I worked at a Firestone tire store. T his is when the radial 500 recall was in process. Anyway, the Assistant Manager, Gil, had some funny terminology. His colorful description of a very hot day was, "It's hotter than a freshly f**ked fox in a flaming forest fire."Just some things you never forget, thought I'd pass it along for a chuckle. Oh, I also was "the colonel of the urinal". Another funny description of the guy who cleaned the john,lol. Would love to go back to those days, it was fun and carefree.
