"You know, after all the burnouts I saw yesterday afternoon and last night, all the smoke being poured all aver the place, hell the first thing I was coming into town was a white DMax in a 4-wheel slide thru an intersection."
I bet the fuel bill for everyone at that event is well over 100k. It would have cost us 12-1300 to go and there was suppose to be 4-5000 people.
They parked 6000 vehicles at the pulling track....the TS event has gotten huge.
I feel bad for everyone involved...especially the Perry's and the whole TS crew....people have no idea of the time, effort and money they put into this event. It's their baby...and someone tried to kill it this weekend.
I'm on the 5th floor of the Drury...it's 1am...and I still hear douchebags doing burnouts from the redlights...........amazing.
Is this the first diesel event you have been to? You seem surprised that drunk dieselheads visiting from out of town do stupid stuff. Every national sized event I have been to I see the things mentioned in here, especially the burn outs. Anyone on this site that attend the shieds event last year?? If you did I am sure you recall the front entrance that had hundreds of people crowded around as people did burnouts as they entered/exit the fairgrounds and each one got flagged to the curb by the police...stupid yes but entertaining...YES

Yes, Josh. This was my first national event.
The point is...we've ALL been saying for a LONG time that the BS has to stop or it would screw it up for everyone....nobody listened and now it's happened.
I'm glad it was entertaining for you...but if you were one of the ones at the fence egging them on...YOU are part of the problem too.
this is supposed to be a family event, limit the amount of alcohol allowed in the gates or dont allow it all all on the grounds!!!
Advertiseing the big parties and such is the reason why the track is all torn up. Main reason to be there is to watch racing, not drinking. Wise up or you will never have an event like this again. No other national track would have such things allowed. most say NO alcohol at the gate! There is a reason for that.
Also IF we ever have a event like this again, there should be police around to help keep folks in line.
The results of this event were self inflicted.
imho, the "police up your brother" theory doesnt always work when there is alcohol involved.......
Just to be clear...
I was screwing around when I posted a pic of TANK's truck earlier....
I figured the big ol' date stamp would be a dead ringer that it was not taken at the TS event....
