'Dega

On the way to the ATL yesterday, I couldn't help but notice the thousands of RV's already parked in the field in front of Talladega Superspeedway for this weekend's big NASCAR event. Yesterday was Tuesday. The races are Saturday and Sunday. What the f**k are these people going to do for four days? I know - stupid question. They're gonna drink beer, grill out and get laid. But at least when RVer's converge in a college town for a football game, they can kill time by walking around campus and perusing the various shops & restaurants. But at 'Dega? You're in a f**king pasture.

That being said, everyone needs to experience a race in Talladega at least once. I still maintain that for people-watching (if you're into that sort of thing), Talladega is the Mecca - even moreso than Mullet Toss Weekend at The Flora-Bama. I don't know where the hell these people come from of what rock they live under, but it makes you glad to be among civilized humans for the other 364 days of the year.
