Talladega!

I made my first (and probably last) trek to Talladega (with my sons) this weekend. There were fun moments that I will never forget. On the other hand, I do not think Sodom and Gomorrah could have been much worse (and I am no prude). The weather could not have been better!

It was an awesome place to hear the motors, smell the rubber, see the speed, and feel the wind coming off those awesome machines! The video doesn't totally do it justice!




DAVID WASSON: Classless fans at Talladega? Yes, indeed
Tuscaloosa News
TALLADEGA - You will read and hear today, from various corners of the country, about how classless Talladega Superspeedway racing fans are for their display of emotion at the end of Sunday’s Aaron’s 499.You will read and hear today all about how NASCAR fans are classless hicks, and that those 160,000 that gathered in the Alabama sand hills are at the head of that parade for the beer- and water-bottle shower delivered to race-winner Jeff Gordon.You will read and hear today cheap shots pundits talking about how fences should be raised, and rules changed, and on-track jails built to handle the rowdies.And all those opinions are 100 percent accurate....
