A fun time at MIR

Angela Macy · 10-01-2007, 05:06 PM

Buy your trailer? You just bought that trailer!! Going to buy a toter home like I told you to, eh?

Where we were parked was nice - last spot in the corner. Had privacy and wasn't smushed in with anyone, they could have technically fit another trailer beside us but they didn't. BUT as nice as this spot was, we were told that young men were hanging out around the back of our trailer, and had came out of the woods behind us. I suspect they walked through the woods and came to the track, not paying. When we went to leave Saturday night we noticed some young guys hanging out looking suspicious. So I called the track and reported this and they assured me they'd have security patrol the area. That made me feel a lot better, my $160 grill was in the back of the truck, and it was still there the next morning.

Somehow though, as much privacy as we had, word spread real quick that Tim Sloan was in our pit Friday morning. Where is my confused smiley face at??

MIR is one of the worse for theft.
A couple years back someone stole the winshield moldings of Mike Petries car during broad daylight.

I was parked on the same row you were Angela and saw those same 4 suspicious guys just hanging around near the edge of the woods for about 15 minutes. Not long after they left two cops were eating dinner on a golf cart near the back of my trailer and I told them about the guys...they said they would come back and check on things every now and then. There have been numerous stories of theft at MIR especially on the spectator side.

I'll be sure to keep that in mind next year. Michael is right, the only other place I have worried about our stuff was at Carolina during the thunder jam. We take Max with us and she stays on her lead in the trailer when we are not there, I suspect her presences might scare some potential theves away.

Scott made mention of them letting anyone rent a golf cart, seems like that might make it easier for someone to load up on stuff and get out of there quick.

By the way Tracy, which side at MIR is considered the spectator side...the side we were on or the other side?

Johns Golf Carts needs to go bye-bye. Everybody on golf carts gets a bad rap because of him. He will rent to anybody and they pile people on and ride around like they own the place.

Jeremy,
Buy my trailer and you won't have to worry about Motels.

I hate to see someone lose business, but I have to agree with you Chip. There is no reason for spectators to need a golf cart in my opinion.

Angela Macy · 10-02-2007, 01:58 PM

And by the way, Chip, you never answered my question - why are you getting rid of that trailer?

Chip THELEGEND Johnson · 10-02-2007, 02:11 PM

Angela,
I may sale everything, take a year off and regroup. It may be time to go in a different direction. If I can't I'll be at the first race next year just like always.

The burnout box not only didn't have enough water in it sometimes, it was the roughest I've ever seen at any track! Luckily I finally figured out how to make it work.

I think Chip is having another knee-jerk reaction that he may regret....again! (Just a theory. I could be wrong.)

The line forms behind Angela to slap Chip!
