‘Life Threatening’ Storms Today

  This afternoon we may get “Life Threatening” storms today in Dallas and Fort Worth.  The weather people sure know how to get your attention now with their new warnings.
  We got, I think, NASCAR races in Fort Worth today and tomorrow.  I am not a fan.  But the number of people that show up for the races is unreal.  When people are coming they turn all the roads into one way roads into Fort Worth and when the race is over they change the direction of all the roads to lead out of Fort Worth.
  Not sure what and the hell would happen if we had dangerous weather during a race.  My guess is they would put the race on hold and everyone would get out of the rain and drink beer.  I guess they must have a plan for what to do at the race site.

I'm not sure that NASCAR and the track owners have a plan to do much except to sell very expensive tickets. I went to a NASCAR race in Fort Worth when the track was new and I was young and foolish. Actually, about 15 years ago. There was a heavy rain and they just moved the main race to Monday. No refund, no nothing. Even worse, the "parking lots" were just dirt fields and they turned into a swamp. There were tens of thousands of cars stuck in the mud. It took me ten hours and cost big bucks to get my car towed out to the highway. I had to work Monday so I missed the race.

All in all, it cost me about $800 for tickets, a cheap motel, and towing. For nothing. Nope. I won't be back to a NASCAR race soon.
