Yea Falcon check out raceway5 thread, they also use the black flag. Great show tonite. If you go by the 50/50 for crowd size, it was $940.. If you come down, I'm up top in turn 4. The one legged guy w/Jegs hat.

fans ( short for fanatic) i say aslong as there is no physical contact let them say what they want , it happens in every sport . thats why we love this country for our freedom to say just about anything you can think of . if thats how they get stress releif so be it. without fans where would our sport be.

Alright Nick, Ill stick with Wallrider or Clappertruck  ;D

I understand fans having a passion for the sport. The cheering and jeering comes with it, but these fans have to realize this is a family environment.  "Without the fans, where would our sport be?"  I agree, but when you have a bunch of obnoxious fans, that tends to drive away several of the others.  I know a team at my local track that has a couple of well respected drivers, but this drivers family, one woman in particular does nothing but yell and scream profanities, accusations of cheating whenever a certain other driver wins.  The other fans see this, and in return they have turned to disliking this woman's drivers.  I feel bad for the drivers because i have a lot of respect for them, but this "fan" of theirs is tainting the public opinion of them.

I have witnessed this too... but I haven't seen anything like what I saw until I was at a particular race in early July.

Not sure if it was a wife.. but she was clearly in support of a recognized southern tier street stock driver/RoC standout.

If anyone came near him or, god forbid, passed him out... as they went by the front stretch she would yell "f... you" over & over again ...then proceed to flip the person off for the next few laps. Kids of all ages were surrounding her, possibly even her kids. I felt so bad... they actually seemed somewhat embarrassed to be sitting there. I give her credit for having passion... but she failed on style points. This went on the whole race.

I can only imagine the home life.

The first time we went to Bowman Gray, there was a woman in the front row who stood up and flipped off Junior Miller with both hands every time he came by.  But that's normal for the Stadium.  Plus, she was getting some good exercise.  lol

Ransomville has one of them. They call her the "MAD HAIRDRESSER" comes apart if her husbend gets tagged or passed by anyone. Everyone that wins cheats.
 She has been kicked out of the stands and the pits yrs. past.
 Her kid runs go-karts samo-samo.
Some times its funny, sometimes she gets down right nasty.

My friend told me he is going this week for the purpose of recording her so he has more you tube mataerial. Yup, even my friends can be jerks. I told him not to sit near me.  ( although I thought  the idea was funny )
