you might be a redneck if... YOU GO TO NASCAR!!

Last Sunday, myself and a few work friends (Mike, Scott, Anthony, and Ruth) went to our very first Nascar race (except for Mike...he had been once before and came prepared with headphones / ear plugs). Scott had received free tickets from a subcontractor, so naturally, we had to live it up, redneck style. As you can imagine, it was quite an experience [but I can't wait to go again!].


It took place at the Atlanta Motor Speedway, which actually is about 45 minutes outside Atlanta, but nonetheless...the place is massive and 100,000+ people attend. It has its own landing field so that everyone with private jets can avoid the traffic getting into the place ;o) and more RVs than you've ever seen in one place. These people are SERIOUS about NASCAR.

The cars were so loud that my hearing was not only jacked up that day, but also until 11am the next day. It was interesting... Now I know why all of the regulars have their own headsets...

"Yeah, wait until they fly past you at 180 miles per hour..." - Mike
"Uh oh." - Danika
