Wow! I can't beleive all the replies to this thread. Some of you guys are pretty funny. I was just ranting a little at my bad day.
Glad to see some of you have had similar experiences. I didn't take a pic. of the lady next to me...well...because she was just that, a lady. And the guy with her most likely would have punched me. LOL! I guess I should have spoken up to some of these morons around me, but that is just not my nature. As for moving around to other seats, it was pretty crowded and, well I like to sit in the seat I payed for.

I think I will start saving my pennies now for a Super Seat next year. I guess it would be worth the extra money.

I didn't go back Sunday, just listened online. Guess it was a good thing, I wouldn't have wanted to see John Force crash in person, it was hard enough watching it on TV.

Two year ago I watched Bruce Allen and Kenny Koretsky get together and that was tough to witness.

Thanks for all the replies.

Re: In the stands today at the Texas Motorplex

A few more observations:

I don't know how the same 4 people sit behind me every year in different rows/sections. The following conversation took place during top fuel q3.

The snap-on car does a burnout
Woman 1: That's Doug
Man 1: Doug???
Woman 1: Doug Kalitta
Man 2: GOOOOO Doug!

3 pair later the mac tools car does a burnout
Woman 1: That's Doug
Man 1: Doug???
Woman 1: Doug Kalitta
Man 2: GOOOO Doug!
Woman 2: I thought Doug Kalitta already lost

Later in the day in Kelly's section, I heard this bit of wisdom: We'll just share the beer because it will get too hot if I buy 2

OMG! That was priceless! I've never seen a beer dude shoot somebody quite a dirty look like that! They must have called him over every 10 minutes!

That is classic! I don't drink as fast as some. What will Joe (with his beer on steroids) say? Or what did he say?

That's one of the Best assets about Vegas and Chi-town! The stands are at such an angle that you see very few Jumpers! And they do get yelled at believe me!

Re: In the stands today at the Texas Motorplex

During the April Vegas race I had a problem with two "Ladies" they did not stand up during runs. However every time Hillary Will came down the return road they had to go down to the fence so they could wave at her as she went by, of course they had to walk in front of us EVERY TIME with husbands in tow stomping on my feet bumping into my wife and friends. This went on for three days. The only saving grace was that Hillary went out in the first round (Sorry Hillary). They looked so dejected when Hillary did not come back down the return road after her losing run. I told them that only the round winners come back down the return road on Sunday. That's when they decided to go see her in the pits! My feet still hurt from the trampling they got that weekend.

It makes you realize the 15 day waiting period for handgun purchases is a good thing after all

On the other hand, if that is the worst thing that happened to me that weekend I did good.

I'm using the pea shooter idea in October
