I've never been to a NASCAR race. There's a group of people from work who used to go to Talladega and camp. They all seemed to enjoy it.
When I was at Shaw, AFB in Sumter, SC. A buddy was dying to go to the sprint nationals at Darlington. I was almost convinced to go until he told me the tickets were $20 each. I wasn't interested in racing, and that was a lot of money for a lowly Senior Airman.
I went, I saw, I thought about the consequences. I ordered a
bacon cheeseburger anyway.
