I've seen it a few times.
Stupid idiots show up, rope off a 10x10 or 10x20 area and claim it as their own, and if you venture anywhere near or into it, be ready to throw down.
At least GH stopped allowing people to set up EZ-Up's trackside....that was even worse

Flair, Do you hate GH or what?
Really?
Been to National's all over the US, and believe me when I say that the crowd control and situation at GH is unique.
Amazing, only in Southern California, I guess, is the attitude of "if you're concerned about your safety as a spectator at a professional MX race, maybe you should go to bingo."
Truly amazing
And Dave I never felt unsafe at Glen Helen and security is much better these day's.
Nevertheless, his solution to anyone who might feel unsafe is to just go to bingo instead.
So if a family doesn't feel safe at GH with their kids around a bunch of drunken brawling flatbillers, they never should have been there in the first place, they should have been at bingo.
One of my first trips to Mt. Morris in the mid 90s there was a fight that last over a half hour involving a bunch of rednecks who had brought their own kegs to the race. I called Rita Coombs after the race and she was amazed to hear that as it was not track policy. The next year there were no kegs and I didn't see any fights.
That having been said drunken assholes are found everywhere.....I think the guy filming the fight is a big of wanker as the jerks fighting.......a race is going on and he's more interested in fliming the fight than watching the races.
You should have been at bingo
If you like, you can pick a thread that went wrong and I will write a script for the boys to play out at the GP this year. Just off the top of my head I see a strong ending with maybe 500guy choking out Brooks and demanding he leave GH forever! If LB is not game, we can just find a fan that showed up at the track to actually watch the race, any fan, preferably one who is new and not familiar with everything moto. That way 500guys' anger will be real. We might even be able to find one of those “believe the hype" shirts to put on him before we start so everybody will hate him. I know we can get every SX only rider, JS, Lil' hanny and others to stand on the sidelines to anger the rest of the group. If given the opportunity, I know one of the guys would be willing to end a life! I will see if Reed is busy!
All in fun of course...................
a few years ago, this guy was captured rushing to the nearest fight scene.
Pit Row
Unadilla- The wild, chanting, crowd passing around blowup dolls and the naked guy looping out drunk and burning the tire off of his bike come to mind....
Broome Tioga- Crazy hill people burning everything in sight, cops went up the hill....came back down all shot up from potato launchers with shit jammed in the exhaust. Beer bottle fights, random band just setting up and playing, and rolling mules. Probably Broome had some of the wildest stuff I've seen.
Mt. Morris had some wild ones too....nothing specific stands out in my mind, although that could be because I was too busy doing keg stands with the rest of the patrons.
Really though, those were saturday nights...it always seemed much calmer during the races...can't say I've seen any multiple person brawls while the races were going on.
I usually watch the race from different spots and move around a lot so, when some drunk fool gets all uptight over his "spot", I just move on.... I would agree that, GH isn't the best for the family, but what national is?
One of the most dangerous tracks.
But brah it's "core" MX.
