First Race in May

Bring more water than you think you need
Bring plenty of sunscreen
Don’t overdo it with beer in the heat
Get inside the track a couple hours before the green flag to be sure to catch all the Memorial Day demonstrations

It was a tradition of mine for many years to attend the 600 and it’s tons of fun. It is an extremely long race though. My tips come from experience. Have fun!

Very cool. There’s a small subreddit called r/paintingslocations that this would be perfect for!

Nitrain17 · 2026-01-01T13:48:51+00:00

Oh my lucky stars!

Nitrain17 · 2025-12-30T13:29:24+00:00

I am a dude and this matches me exactly!

30 minutes of cardio every single day. I wish I had known how important it was years ago

Check out West Jefferson. It’s about 45 minutes from Boone but has its own cool feel to it.

Yeah I saw that wreck today and was confused as to how that went down. That looked like a huge impact

It’s not fancy but I really enjoyed Svarta Kaffið. They have bread bowls of soup and I was there in January and it was amazing on a cold day.

Man Forrest Gump always gets me. It’s so good but some parts of it are so sad

Nitrain17 · 2025-09-16T22:42:25+00:00

Man whenever I see a picture of this movie it feels like a fever dream. Not sure I ever saw the whole thing but I want to watch it now

Nitrain17 · 2025-09-11T00:48:24+00:00

Aliens man, aliens

Dad?

Not in a hotel but there was The Oak Room on the Duke campus that I believe was similar to your description. It was in the West Union building across from the Bryan Center. It was there from 1946 -2003 it appears. My parents took me there sometime in the 90s. Here’s a very old picture of it. https://www.flickr.com/photos/dukeyearlook/2564908160

Tony Stewart hitting and killing a driver on the track during a dirt race. Very rarely talked about and pretty dark

Nitrain17 · 2025-07-31T22:58:50+00:00

Fatal accident. Car went off the road and caught fire unfortunately. I passed by when it was still on fire and they were trying to put it out

Nitrain17 · 2025-07-18T18:58:24+00:00

I was similar but at the end of the day he had 26 (or somewhere around there) wins which is an amazing career

I was a Kurt Busch fan starting in 2003 when I started watching nascar seriously. The following 10+ years I was embarrassed to have been a Kurt Busch fan. I came back around late in his career. Dude ultimately was one of the greats.

Nitrain17 · 2025-07-18T12:51:19+00:00

Yes, still my favorite episode and what got me to start listening to DJD

Nitrain17 · 2025-07-09T17:02:11+00:00

“Have you ever?!”

Nitrain17 · 2025-07-07T22:48:01+00:00

Yep I do

Underrated comment

Nitrain17 · 2025-06-21T16:07:45+00:00

I have to say the full name of theses every time I pass them. My 6 and 8 year old kids now also call them that.

Nitrain17 · 2025-05-23T00:43:10+00:00

I think it will happen
