Talladega is nowhere near as wild as it used to be.

Yeah, we went to both races every year from around 2000 through 2013 or so. Forget the exact years. And even in that timeframe it calmed down tremendously. The recession in 2008 did a lot to calm it down, but it hasn't helped that NASCAR has lost a lot of fans. I went a couple of times in the late 80's and it was insane back then for a teeanger to experience.

Craziest thing I ever saw there was around 2001 or 2002. We were in one of the campgrounds outside the track, and it was getting late that Saturday night/Sunday morning. Probably around 2 or 3 in the morning. We were just strolling around, drinking beer, and taking it all in when we saw a crowd of folks around an RV watching something. We walked up and there's porn playing on the TV outside the RV, and at first I thought it was weird a bunch of drunk strangers were standing around watching porn. But then I saw what I assume was a husband and wife probably in their 60's banging in front of everyone. He was hitting her doggy style and guys watching kept asking if they could join in. We didn't stick around long enough to see if anyone ever did join in.

NASCAR races are fun, shite gets crazy after dark.

Why was that guy holding his hand over his heart while his friend screamed butt pussy for a minute straight?! LMFAO

Can confirm the rowdiness. I stayed in infield at both races from late 90s to mid 00s. It rivaled PCB Spring Break, Mardi Gras and Tarpon Rodeo. Police just let things go back then. 9/11 actually caused it to settle down the most. Security clamped down.

I remember one of the popular things to do was to string someone up who had passed out, with duct tape. Some would be dangling like a puppet from RV awnings, some duct taped to side of RVs, hoods of trucks, etc. The poses were very creative, even artistic. I havent seen that anywhere else, it was a "only at Dega" type thing.

The worst hangover Ive ever had was Talladega infield. I passed out in a tent and was awoken at 8am by practice. One car is not bad but a pack is deafening. That was a rough day.

Used to go to Charlotte and Atlanta every year. Walk up to the gate with a softsided 18 can cooler and a fifth of Jim Beam (plastic bottle). And a bucket of fried chicken.

Ticket taker says "Your good, come on in".

Often, the entertainment in the stands was better than the race.
