I have 4 tickets to this weekends race...
I am only going to use 2. If anyone is interested in going to the race, let me know. I can meet and greet. dlookout and I will be meeting up on Sat morn in Bristol, then heading up into the woods to find a campground for the weekend. after settin up camp, we'll head down to the track for the festivities and the race, then return to the camp site for the evening then head home on Sunday.

If there are any Nasvillians that are interested, I might be taking the day off on Friday and driving on out and could pick someone(s) up.

These tickets were free to me and they are free to whoever would like to join me. The race is a night race on Sat at 7pm.

My parents live a few miles away from the track and have been bugging me to come visit. This would be a heck of an excuse to come up. I haven't been to Bristol since they expended the track. Best fan friendly Nascar race imho.

Let's see based on what I've been told I can probably post one right now.

hmmmm.....

Went to the oral surgeon, sat in a chair, had a breather placed over my nose and mouth, counted backwards from 100.......... Woke up in the chair drooling on myself and had three less teeth.

stikmon is yanking on bales about spelling and misspells bib!

stikmon - if you have time you need to check out Roan. Even if you just hike the first 3 miles from Carvers Gap it will be worth the effort. Also, if you don't have a place to stay then camping up there would be nice. Roan is the best place to hike that I've ever been.

Stikmon did ou also attend the laqtis school of reainding comnprehension? I said maybe I'd do a search.

If memory serves even a casual observer back in the day would have noticed. Do you see me posting a link or bumping a thread from a couple of yeaers ago back to the top? I didn't think so. Not yet anyway.

And why is it being jealous of the life of otherr=s to dredge up potentially embarassing material posted on a public forum. I'd say it's not being jealous. Mean=spirited maybe. Petty maybe. Bjut not jealuous.

If your going to post that kind of crap you can't be surprised and try to claim it's pathetic and jeslaous of someone else to bring it back and make fun of you with it later. Especially after you call someone a b@st@rd.

Dang man! I'm not even going to get to watch on TV as I'm hiking. I'd love to go down there again. It's like racing in a football stadium.

Nigal, I've never been to a race and don't watch them either. OTOH, I live 10 minutes from Talladega. I can almost see a TT 'Dega road trip. Would you be up for that?

I could go for that dayhiker. I've been there once and it's a good track if the seats are high enough. Maybe next year?

What kind of beer should I bring for ya?
Nigal

I'll see what I can put together. Maybe the April/May race. Seems like it's late April, but can't recall for sure.

I'll bring my poncho then and make sure I have monday off for when they run the race the next day because of rain. LOL!

I don't know that I could come up with enough tickets to set this up on the trips page, but sounds like we could get a group from this thread.

Locally, we don't plan any meetings in B'ham or Anniston on the Friday before or the Monday after the race. The interstates are clogged all day for both days. It's a mess. The other thing is you can forget eating out that weekend. A local dive will usually have 2 hr waits. The place I'm talking about is pretty neat. It's called "The Arc" It dates back to when this was a dry county. State waterways were wet so the restaurant was on a big houseboat so they could sale beer.

When my wife and I go we get a half pitcher of beer that's actually a tea pitcher that's 3/4 full. You can get about 6-7 mugs of beer out of it....the price is $3.

No kidding the roads are a mess! We spent 5 hours idling in the lot trying to get out and then 10 hours home. What a long day!

I'm just going to have to bite the damn bullet and take a three day weekend and come down hiking sometime. That place sounds like a great place to eat. I love places like that. My family used to go to the this place in Kentucky that was a boarding house run by two women and all the tables and place settings were miss matched like you'd find in someone's house and there was no menu. They just brought out big bowls of whatever was being made that day and that's what ya ate. It was REAL home cookin'.

My boss has a sailboat that he keeps in Pensacola, Fl. When he wants fried shrimp, this is where he goes, not the Gulf Coast.

There is a sign nailed on the wall that says, "No Profanity" It's a dive, but the food is great. The only problem is that sometimes the crab claws will a little small because they got a bad batch and the next time they're the size of shrimp. We went there last week for lunch. There was a b'day in the office and so everyone went, my wife and kids included. You couldn't even see the ff's and cole slaw because of all the crab claws.

dh...
this isn't a hiking trip...camp race camp, go home.

D and I went out there in june? and just drove up into the forrest on a forrest service road, found a flat glade by a creek and just pitched camp for one night after the race was over. in the AM, we broke camp and went home.

Thats what we'll be doing this time too.

biles...I don't embarrass easily and the past certainly doesn't embarrass me. What Lizs and I did, or didn't do, is history. we still talk and communicate, which is more than I can say for your talented messages. I almost need a hyroglyphics degree to make out your intended messages.

stik - the first time I went to Roan I got there around midnight. I camped about 100 yards from a parking lot and then shuttled vehicles in the morning. It's great. I knew the goal wasn't to hike, but you're an hour away and just wanted to let you know that one of the best places to see in the whole East is right there. Good dayhiking, if you have the time.

poopy bin...only the toads that I don't know and don't care about. DH, you and the rest of the psychohikers that I have met have your very own private and personal poopy bin that I put you into...LOL.

My comments were for the few, the stupid and the ignorant.

I'm still waiting to hear from anyone that wants to go to the race...sheesh. I shoulda put this up on ebay, but then again, I don't want any MONEY for the tickets...sheesh...if it was gear that I was giving away, that would not be a problem, but I can't afford to give my gear away, because then I'd have less to loose in the river, that is not an option.

no, not under my skin...
I actually enjoy morons like you. Your mentally deficient life is my entertainment. Your atrocious use of the english language reminds me how wonderful my education was. Your loathsome personality makes me realize how special the rest of TT is.

No, you certainly don't bother me. But, I bet your a bother to yourself. Plus...your not real until you go on a TT venture. And, I've been on plenty of them, so therefore I've earned the right to be bashed by the others and to bash back...Thats how it works...so, crawl back into your dungheep and let the maggots and dung beetles crawl inside your nasty miserable self.

Unless of course you've been on a TT trip then...Never mind.

"Your loathsome personality makes me realize how special the rest of TT is."

Does this include me? And if so do you mean special as in a very unique and interesting individual or do you mean, "Duh! I love fired chicken and Transformers!"?

I never said 2poops didn't dserrve whatever bad karma comes his way. Ithink he does too. I just found it somwhat ironic that Stikmaon would complain about his sincere offer bieng crapped upon by a bunch of ppoopy heads.
bales

when did 2scoops ever...
make a sincere offer???

Even on his trip to the rockies, he was less of a planner or leader than he should have been.

Anywho...I've already wasted enough time on you bales...like 2scoops, your too easy a target and I've got things that need to be done and a camping trip to prepare for and then a vacation to prepare for then a canoe trip to prepare for, then another canoe trip to plan for and then a backpacking trip to plan for then another backpacking trip to plan for then the final canoe trip to plan for then another backpacking trip to plan for...get the picture...I don;t sit on my arse on a pc talking about backpacking, I actually get out and do it!!! But then again, I guess I don't have much of a life cause all I do is backpack and canoe. Terrible situation that I have, huh?

Which is more than I can say for you, unless of course, I've missed your volumes of trip reports and photo albums, and if that is the case, then, never mind.
