LOL....while listening to MRN radio on the scanner, it was funny to listen to them talk during the "commercial" breaks....only to hear them say at one point, "This crowd is unbelievable! Every time Jr. takes another spot, this whole place goes wild!"

Now I ask you, when did they get a clue??? ;-)

I have to say that I was highly disappointed with the DIS this year. I don't know where Bill France and his cohorts are putting the money they make, but it sure ain't going to the fans. We were told by DIS Security that we were going to have to "take down our canopy tent because Mr. Gramm (head of Security) said it 'looks like you are camping out'." I said,

"Hm. An open tent, no sides, nothing. And so, where is this Mr. Gramm person? Upstairs, I presume, in a suite, telling you to ride around on your little scooter to tell the peons who have been here since forever this morning to take down our tents? YOU, sir, can tell Mr. Gramm that if he wants us to take down our canopy because it looks like a "tent", then he doesn't know what a frigging tent looks like, and also that I hope is prepared to spend most of the afternoon trying to get emergency vehicles in and out of here because a lot of people will be passing out from the FRIGGING DAYTONA HEAT!!!" He left, never to be seen again. :-)

Also..the bathrooms inside DIS were disgusting...now, I am no priss, believe me, but there was no toilet paper, the toilets were overflowing, and so I ask you: how is it that the race fans, who bring in SO MUCH MOOLA for these people are treated like shleps??? I did write Mr. France, Sr. a letter in which I enclosed pictures of the bathrooms, the overflowing water, and asked him why he could not afford to have someone in each bathroom to keep it clean?" I mailed it certified, so he or someone there had to sign for it. ;-)

Don't tick me off. ;-)
