Let's hope the Speedway never bans smoking in the stands too...I love being able to have a cigar before the race!

Awesome! Agreed on the cigar!
Looks like I won't be going to the Speedway then.
Bummer.
A beer does sound good right now with dinner.
More Ovals and Road Courses. Less Street Races.
What about if we keep it to Nicky Blaine's before the race?Originally Posted by icrackedtheaces
Don't know what that is. The closest I've been to Indianapolis is Kansas City.
If they allow smoking, that is fine. I won't be near there. I've had asthma and get flare ups once in a while and I stay away from any kind of smoke.

Can I take my shoes off and sit in the recliner?

pretty cool place to people watch.. first place i ever visited that had a cigar menu larger than the dinner menu!
must admit, for a "poor boy" like me; it was a once in a lifetime event.
does this new board allow "cheap beer" drinkers? or just "beer snobs"?
returning to the days of ignorant bliss..
Just be careful not to clip the dog with the recliner.
Well, in my fridge right now I have Sam Adams, my homebrew, and Miller Lite, so you tell me.pretty cool place to people watch.. first place i ever visited that had a cigar menu larger than the dinner menu!

Now if we could just get them to put scotch on tap!!!Let's hope the Speedway never bans smoking in the stands too...I love being able to have a cigar before the race!

That could ONLY end well!
how did you get a subforum named after you? lol.
I had my bong confiscated at the border..........
We were all set to name it Glee Club but darned if they don't tell me that's taken.
I think Hurley's post, quoted in the forum's description caption, summed up pretty much what we always wanted for this site in general: for "People who just want to chill, have a beer and a burger, and watch a race in peace.".

Jolly damm good for you, Hurley. It's about time there was a place we can talk racing without all the trash.
Don't you guys drink a lot of Yeuling up there? We used to get it on draught at Chillis, but we can't get it any more. That stuff was awesome.Well, in my fridge right now I have Sam Adams, my homebrew, and Miller Lite, so you tell me.

They're actually a little south of here. We drink a lot (a LOT) of Harpoon.
Yeah, I ran up a hell of a tab there one nice this past August. Was a lot of fun, but probably won't be repeated.
That would be in my race cooler.
You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be misquoted and used against you.
So living out in Northern Calif and into wine, we'd bring bottles of wine to the 500. Of course no glass bottles inside the track, so I'd decant them into Nalgene bottles and take those in.
One year, I peeled the label off a bottle and then attached it to the plastic bottle. While we were sitting in the stands during the race, I snapped a pic of my better half taking a swig from the bottle. Got her wearing her race scanner, the crowd and track behind her and the label of the wine was showing taped to the plastic bottle.
I then mailed the pic to our friends that own that winery and they put it up on their tasting room wall.
Give me a 6 pack of Newcastle and speeds over 230 at Indy and I'll be a happy man.
Well, the Speedway DOES have a "No Glass" policy
I like hurley's world!!!!!

You ever been to the Harpoon Octoberfest in Boston? I went the last two years and had a flippin' blast! Sadly our work schedules won't allow it this year, but boy did I have fun watching beer keg bowling and taking brewery tours.They're actually a little south of here. We drink a lot (a LOT) of Harpoon.

Great to hear all the harpoon love. Tasty stuff!
If any of you kids know those guys, Jaime was my long time roomate at Purdue and later on in Atlanta.
Tell him Grover sent ya, make up lies about me and he'll probably spread some back...
Beer is good, some are better than others but they are all good.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think it was Ben Franklin that said "beer is proof that god loves us and wants us to be happy".
I think he also said "In wine there is wisdom, in beer there is strength. In water there is bacteria".
I've got some Miller Lite, Ranger IPA and St Arnolds Ocktoberfest in my fridge as well as 5 gal of Homebrew that turned out really bad. In my 15yrs of homebrewing I've only dumped one batch,,, this may be my second
I am very sorry for your loss. I homebrewed with a buddy for many years. always a sad thing when a batch doesn't turn out quite right. That is why we brewed for flavor first and alcohol second. That was our silver lining if the gold flavor didn't meet expectations. I did come home one time to the strong smell of beer filling the air. Turns out about half a dozen bottles blew up. Oops! At least it was on the tile and not the carpet.Beer is good, some are better than others but they are all good.

In general the Blue Moon varieties are my fave. I'm enjoying the Pumpkin autumn flavor. And of course there's Sam Adams Oktoberfest. Our buddy buys packages and packages of that one to last him through the Spring, which I think I'll do this year...
Really the only beer I've flat out hated is Corona. Anything else will do in a pinch.
I'm down with that! That's my default, unless the is some Samuel Smith's laying around

I've never seen Samuel Smith's. Is that a local beer brand?I'm down with that! That's my default, unless the is some Samuel Smith's laying around
You can smoke in the stands at Indy? Also, I need to throw a beer vote in for cheap, light, American lager.
No one ever got sick from drinking some High Life. Or Coors. Or Schaeffer. Or Hams. Or Blatz. Or... well, you get the idea.
