Many years ago, we used to party in the snake pit. I did a beer bong once, and shotgunned beer. I was young and stupid sometimes. I have never liked getting seriously drunk, but willpower seems to fade with each drink... Even when I was young and stupid, I had a little common sense left.
Grew up just east of the back gates on 30th st.
As a kid I knew every hole in the fence and secret way into the grounds.
In 1981 I did my 1st Gig working on a team there with George Bignotti.
I did my last gig a few years after the IRL started ruining the event.
We have so many friends from those years. Many have stopped by this week and more will be here today.
That race is part of the area. My kids (all in their 30's) are so excited and ready for race day. The little ones park cars and their will be good food, good friends and yes, adult beverages will be consumed.
I miss being involved a lot.

So, this guy is out for a night of drinking with his buddies, and long story short, he has too many and winds up puking down the front of his shirt. "Oh man, my wife's gonna kill me, this is a brand new shirt, she's gonna kill me" he says to his friends. One of his buddies comes up with a plan "just take a $20 bill and put it in your shirt pocket and tell her that some random drunk puked on you, and stuck the 20 in your pocket to cover the damage"
so the guy sticks a $20 in his shirt pocket and heads home. When he gets home, of course his wife is full of questions about his ragged condition, and immediately inquires about his puke covered shirt.
"well, you see, this random drunk guy staggered up and just puked all over my brand new shirt, but it's okay, he gave me $20 to cover having it cleaned, see, here's the money" he says as he takes the money from his shirt pocket and tosses it to his angry wife.
she unfolds the crumpled bills to find not one $20 bill, but two!
"there's two 20s here" she yells, "I thought you said he only gave you $20"?
"Oh yeah", says the guy "that other $20 is from the random drunk guy that pooped in my pants"!!!

Oh we have some story's from the pit........
I bet! I started going there when I was a kid, my dad was a big fan, and the company he worked for made some of the springs for the cars. (Rockwell International). We even got to skip school to go to the track sometimes.
My last year playing in the pit was 1980. I near flipped my 4WD truck in the mud. I had it up on 1 wheel (Right front) for a bit but got it stopped before I ran through the fence. My then Girl friend now spouse was not aware of that side of me.....
Too a degree.
The VAST majority of EMS runs yesterday were heat related and not alcohol. Crowd estimates were 75k or more. Say about 30-40k were drinking and we had 2 fights and a couple of arrests. The race will draw about 400-450k tomorrow. Typically there are few arrests on race day, even with all the alcohol. Find me another event of this size that is as easy as this.

I was just getting started then! Late 80s, early 90s was when I was there the most.
