Anybody ever been? I'm leaving tomorrow for my first one. Other than going to the Nashville Fairgrounds as a kid with my dad and then the Nashville Superspeedway with my son I've never been to a NASCAR race except Talladega.
I'm going with a buddy whose family has had tickets for years. His parents have a house down there about an hour from it but can't recall the name of the town. His parents are there so his dad will pick us up and we'll stay at their house til we fly back Tuesday. I'll have to pass on the shirt unless I need toilet paper. :lol:gator-n-buck":2p6f81nj said:The one race that I normally watch. Have a safe trip and a good time. You will be only 50 miles from where I grew up...
If you are going down 95, you should jump off and stop by my dad's store. I will have them give you a shirt or two..
Of course, the ones in Gator colors..
Apparently you can carry small coolers in so they already have them specifically for this and each will hold 6-8 beers. We'll be tailgating by 6:30 so I'm gonna have to pace myself. Too old to be s&%t faced by noon and the headaches suck. :tu:TeamMainStreet":2p6f81nj said:Been by the track. Never been to the race. I did go to Charlotte once. The beer was high, I left broke, and couldn't remember who even won. :tu:

That happened to us at the SEC championship game when the Vols and Mississippi State played. We were in a suite and the beer was gone in about an hour. The lady came in with a puzzled look on her face until we told her we had been there an hour. :super:TeamMainStreet":2nfs76yj said:There was a group of us and we carried the small coolers in. What we carried in only lasted about 30 minutes. :rotf:
