Now that I moved out west I was thinking about going to the GP. But it looks rough there.

Honestly it has been much better since they don't let people bring their own booze in.

and beers are $7 bucks or more.

Not to mention they spread the track out to the REM side and that helped spead the crowd out.

"Tough guy" with the backpack on punching people in the back of the head and when they are down. I would have done that idiot when he was taking his shirt off. A taste of his own medicine.

everyone thinks they are a MMA fighter now, it's part of the culture there.

Thats not a fight, looks like a bunch of pussys having a shoving match.
Actually I've never seen a fight there.

Been going for years and have never seen a fight at GH. Some drunks.. yes. But nothing worse than I have seen at other races... and I have been to many all over the world!

I would easily consider GH more kid friendly than a Dodger game or even a Lakers game (in fact a can barely remember any kids there)....

haha

I remember that one. We were up on the hill watching too. I think it started up again later. Seemed to go on forever.

They weren't exactly a danger to anyone ... just an embarrassment.



GH is pretty safe. They do have security.

The first time i went in 2000 i saw a brawl there. Mid afternoon about 8-10 people for a few minutes.

I had prime seats for it, about 15 metres away, on a slight hill. I remember 1 fairly sized bloke shaping up to another bloke, when some little punk come from behind and cracked him in the side of the temple, he went down like a cheap whore.

Glen Hezyy is always a party. All the Socal guys usually get all drunked up and start a brawl. I know there was a few scuffles at the national last year...

Probably the ol' 2 v 4 stroke argument... bubba rode the 250f that day instead of the killer 125 he rode all season.

The crowds get much worse when the series moves back east.

Troy was the worse crowd that I have ever been around. I am glad they shut that one down.

Well, you just need to read a couple of threads on here and it doesn't suprised you that it actually happens IRL at the races. Still sad though and I wonder how much of a fan those guys really are...

Heck, I've even been to local summer rally car races over here and find peeple passed out next to a gravel road in the woods... at 11am! *sheez*

Some people are race fans and some are booze fans, I guess. But why pay alot of $$$ to get drunk at races, concerts and such, when you can get drunk at home for less bucks?

It looked like someone had set up camp along the fence and laid claim to territory.

Unfortunately I don't think Glen Helen is the only place in the world where you will find idiots.

That fight was not real, it was a reenactment of an internet forum!

The guy with the backpack obviously used all caps. His friend, no shirt #1, mis-spelled a single word in one of his post and hat guy is determined to put the beat down on him, showing him his proper spelling and grammatical skills. Most of the others have no clue what they are doing and are just jumping in because they have no clue what is actually taking place on the other side of the fence from them.

Don't be scared to show up at the race, your post counts show you are well trained in the art of self defense!
