[Tumey's 55]

The last couple of nights at Smackdown I witnessed some unfortunate behavior which we could have done without. Everyone has a right to have a great time at the track and while I choose not to drink I know there are some who do, that is OK. Where it crosses the line is when it negatively impacts others. Friday night some kids who looked to be about 15 were sneaking a beer and then spilled it on my daughter, appreciate the adults who provided that to them. Later, the guy in front of us was so drunk he nearly passed out, I thought for sure he was going to Ralph all over everyone, fortunately he did not. Last night guys were yelling F-bombs with young children around, great atmosphere for a family, not. Finally, during the thunder car feature a guy politely asked another guy to sit down so he could see. The response he received was to be ridiculed for wanting to watch the Thunder cars.

None of this could ruin the enjoyment I had at Smackdown. I merely ask that some slip the beer goggles off for a minute and understand their surroundings. If we want more people to attend races and expand the fan base to the next generation this type of behavior does not help.The vast majority of fans were great but there are always a few knuckleheads.
