Nascar from a different prospective!

Holy Cow, I don’t get it.  Next weekend thousands yes thousands of people will descend on little Dover DE for one of two annual NASCAR races.  If you want to impress me in NASCAR turn right! I know some tracks have right turns but most of them are a big circle.  What does this do for Dover?  Our hotel rates get jacked up from greedy companies, we that live here will not be able to leave the house unless during the race, or go out in eat. Empty lots will be transformed into parking lots and vendors will fill Rt 13 to sell their wares.  Don’t get me wrong NASCAR is OK, but I can’t see setting in the sun watching the cars go round and round for a few hours, and the only high light is when someone wrecks.  I do not want to have to wait for an hour before you can leave the track because of all the traffic. There is a social event at Dover AFB on Friday, You have craftsman Truck Series, on Friday, and Busch race on Sat, Sunday is the big race.  Campers will be in mass here.  Traffic will be crazy, There will be parking as far away as Harrington Slots (About 25 miles away). Cops will be over worked and of course underpaid.  Of course we will have one drunk get killed that weekend, it happens every year.  Our hospital will be filled with people who think they are invincible. No one will be able to get a room within a 50 mile radius, and I bet there will be an aircrew delay because of the race traffic. The DSU (Delaware State University) dorms are cleared and givin to drivers, and support staff.  These are the things NASCAR fans don’t see, besides the traffic jams!  I am sure most of this is Dover specific  but what a pain. I will plan on going away for the weekend.  If I wanted to see the race I would watch it on TV.  I know a lot of my friends are NASCAR fans and I certainly would not diss them but I just don’t get it.  Kelly, Mendy, and whoever wants to show up in Dover, you can come to my house, there will be plenty of room. Until next time
