NASCAR

Well wouldn't you know it ... the first time I actually WIN something like NASCAR tickets for this Saturday

They are calling for RAIN Hopefully they will get it wrong and I'll actually get to see some racing.

I've never been to a Nascar race before so does anyone have any advice or tips?

Handfuls of ball bearings or tacks to toss out onto the track when Danica or Kyle Bush go by. Use a crotch smuggler of hard liquor to escape spending the kids college fund on 3 beers if your gonna need booze to get through the day. Monkey Butt powder. radio, tv, psp, ipod, ipad things to do. A shank. Unless ya got a hi end camera system like a pro, save your memory/film and only do a few long shots of the action below in the stands. Just DVR it at home and rip better shots, save it for the cool shots of stuff you get close too that will be in focus and take 3 of those. [cars, drivers, and halfnaked girls]

Don't be the guy with a flashcube camera in the cheap seats, trying to snap a pic of the far end of the track wreck; you'll get shanked in the parking lot later. Like fresh fish at the state pen.

Take a long a scanner and tune it to the radio broadcast so you know why people are coming to the pits, etc.

If you don't have a scanner they can be rented at the track or if you really want to go all out go for the fanview rental. Lucky dog, free tickets to my favourite track.

BTW, you have to try the hotdogs at Martinsville.

I'm a fan, never been to a race myself, so the only advice I can give you is, GO ENJOY THE EXPERIENCE, MAKE THE BEST OF IT, AND MAKE SURE YOU HAVE FUN!
