I can see why some of you are addicted to these races in person.
Observations:
* TV simply does not do the speed of motorsports justice. I took my father-in-law with me, and he said he literally got knocked down on his *** the first time he experienced the whole field going by us on the backstretch running wide open.
* It's fun to watch drunk people in public.
* Eddie Gossage and the staff at TMS know how to do this right, from the traffic to the service once you're at the track...top notch.
* Also a nice touch having a Chinook helicopter bring in the pace car and having the bomber fly over...after having the TCU Marching Band play the national anthem.
* I get why the 48 is hated. What I couldn't understand is why the Jeff Gordon fans in our section were leading the way with all that hatred.
* Probably won't go next April because our son/daughter will be only a few weeks old by then. But I fully intend on going to next November's race.
