We were earning money toward my son's Scout account to pay for his future camping trips and other stuff that comes up.
It was 90 degrees + that weekend, and humid. I never saw so much concrete with so little shade in my life. When we went to clean the stands, it was totally disgusting. I never saw so many Budweiser cans in my life. And, people used them as ashtrays. People also left peanut shells all over the ground. Try sweeping up peanut shells soaked in spilled beer. Ick. It stunk so bad. So, my plea to you race fans is this: Drink the whole beer and leave us the can without the peanut shells. Throw away your other trash. Oh yeah, and it's almost impossible to sweep up beer soaked earplugs too, so take your earplugs with you, please!

Yeah, I talked to someone who had a troop there a couple of years ago. He said they had done it for a few years and make a boatload of money doing so.
You have to take the good with the bad!
