World 100 Party or lack of it?

I was done with Eldora after I saw a guy peeing from the roof on the front stretch....

CIRF why are you so triggered by people who have a few too many...you must have been directly effected by it...yes they are ignorant but they make it less enjoyable for you?? Dang man you see someone acting ignorant you say look at that idiot and go back to enjoying the race..dont know why you are so hung up on it....

Having a few too many doesn't trigger me or those in our group. It's when you combine the few too many with inconsiderate, disrespectful ass holes that go out of their way as to make it impossible to ignore them. It's entirely possible to have a few too many without being a public nuisance. I know, I've done it a couple of times my own self.

You talk like its an epidemic...never been to the world but I went to the dream last year and I didnt see anything like what you are talking about...

I'm not saying it's epidemic, I'm saying that it's much more prevalent and seemingly much more accepted as normal behavior. That's why the Trooper got an ovation over at Indy. It's very satisfying and somewhat fun to watch some drunken ignoramus get some much needed comeuppance.

The thing with any good party is that it's a great time until the word gets out and the amateurs show up. At that point it becomes a pain in the rump for the hosts and that's when the fun police show up. I haven't ever been to Eldora, but I'm guessing that there are plenty of good times to be had partying as long as it doesn't get out of hand, which makes them harder to find.

That doesn't answer the question for the OP, but my suggestion would be to walk around, talk to people, make some friends and eventually you'll find the birds of your feather. It always seems to work for me.

I agree with you bud..there was a guy just a few weeks ago at tri city who was acting belligerent a few rows down like it wasnt enough to just be drinking he wanted to be seen and heard..but even with all that I would not avoid attending a race because of them...they usually get dealt with accordingly...by somebody police or not lol

Earls last year in 04 dudes were peeing off the sides and back of the turn 1 bleachers, it was pathetic. I pi$$ed numerous times at various events but this crap was uncalled for. WRP is not lying.

I remember that year as I think it was the year Dan schieper won

Illtsate32, we are in complete agreement on all counts. Like you, I've yet to decline to attend a racing event because of $hit heads but they still can sometimes degrade from the overall experience.

We stopped attending the World Hundred over a decade ago but it wasn't due to stinky drunken fools. We may again attend the World since we still renew the very same tickets that we first bought way back in 1984. It won't be this year but maybe someday. Some close friends buy our tickets every year with the knowledge that we may want to use them again sometime.

For the past 10 years in lieu of the World we opt for the 4 Crown at Eldora 2 weeks later. We seem to enjoy it much more.

The Dream and the World are not the same.

I've had two or three different guys ask my wife if she wanted beads, she was wearing a regular racing shirt, nothing slutty.

Watched a drunk ignorant hillbilly tough guy pick on a 15 yr old kid. Kid was looking at him because he was acting like a complete a$$hole. So with his moonshine courage he decided to pick on him. Kids Dad did the smart thing and went and got the Sherriffs, and d!psh!t and his dumb women, poof.

Numerous morons when leaving who won't even let people cross in front of their cars. Literally would hit you. Like there's a big fukin hurry to sit on 118 for an hour.

I do applaud Tony for upping the police presence and actually having traffic directed.

I go and will continue to go. But there is no shortage of ignorant fuktards.

The popo put the hammer on the party life several years ago. Some one got hit on the highway a few years ago, and ever since then, they shut down the party life early now. I think an hour or 2 after the race is over. They got a name for it but I forget it now.

This is coming from a guy that hasn't even cracked a can of beer or bottle open at Eldora. A part of me misses it, and a part of me don't. I miss the parties for obiouvs reasons (.)(.)

How bad they get hurt Zach?

[Illtsate32]

Man that's crazy IL admit I like to get a decent jag on at the races but I am always respectful of other people at all times if you are a race fan you are my people no matter who you root for..and that father took the high road I see a drunk picking on a kid he's getting dragged asap...

We had just left the grandstands following the Indy 500 in May of 2016. An Indiana State Trooper was controlling pedestrian and auto traffic at an intersection near The Speedway. One of these idiots with a belly full of liquid smartass/courage disobeyed the Trooper and crossed the street stepping between two buses in the process. It took the Trooper right at 3 seconds to get the drunken smartass face down on the sidewalk and cuffed. The Trooper got an ovation from the crowd that was waiting to cross the street. He told the drunken smartass to set on the grass berm and stay put 'till another Trooper came to get him. At that point the drunken smartass was more than ready to comply and at the same time he had tears welling up in his eyes. That Trooper took all the badass out of the drunken smartass in just 3 seconds! We asked the Trooper what that little foray was going to cost the drunken smartass. The Trooper said about 6 hours of his time and around $100. LOLOL!!

Moral of the story is this, if drunken smartasses were universally dealt with is such a way most all public events would be far more enjoyable for everyone and much less costly and painful for the drunken smartasses.

Ya hear that party dogs!!!! hahahahaahahahahahaa Bloomee?

He should have done it on the track???

That I'm not real sure of. I know it locked traffic up for quite awhile. I'm thinking they airlifted the person, I could be wrong (I am getting old.) I always heard they were on a golf cart and got hit by a car. I know the next year, you were not allowed to cross the road on carts anymore, and they put those lights out by the road.
