Just curious and why?

Less tattoos on the women and the men keep their shirtsd on.

Derby....no reason.

I would probably stay home.

That doesn't narrow it down dude.

I have a chance to go to one or the other trying to decide!

Derby....no reason.

I would probably stay home.



I have heard some good stories about the infield parties there.

Also the same thing about Indy. Need to know a deciding factor.

Nothin better than the roar of the engines and the smell of the fuel.Well,OK .There are some things better.But i've had enough horse doo to last me a few months. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gifBesides i'm a race fan.

Would you rather hang out with beer-drinking rednecks, or Pompous fags, midgets, stinky horse trainers, and compulsive gamblers?

beer drinkin rednecks is my choice, always makes me feel right at home. :D

See I am probably the opposite. I Hate rednecks who get stupid-drunk. They are the most difficult people in the world. And since I am normaly in a different state-of-mind...that dosent work out. :D

I agree, it�s hard to understand them after they�ve drank a case of beer and accidentally swallowed their skoal.

... trust me on this one ...
.
... INDY 500 ...
.
... it's a no-brainer ...
I've been going every year since 1978 ...

BOTH HAVE A CROWD THAT IS UNREAL.... I'D RATHER GO TO THE BEACH THOUGH..... SOUTH PADRE.

Indy 500.....hands down. I have been to both in my life time and the Indy 500 was the better of the two parties.

Theres no substitute for the roar of the engines running around that track. You dont get the feel for it when you watch it on tv. And you get more bang for your buck. The derby has what.....one major race? The other races are horses youve never heard of and prolly never will again. The main race lasts what.......2-3 mins? While the Indy race lasts 3-4 hours.

I like seeing jockeys though.

Cause no matter how bad things might seem sometimes you can always think...man at least I'm not a jockey. :o:D

Go to Indy...I've been and it was fantastic.

at the derby you get to wear the cool hats
and it would be a good weekend away from wayne

:D... slack , I oughta murderize ya ! ... :D
.
.
... but in all sirius ness , the "redneck-good-ol'-boys" don't really populate much at the Indy 500 ... I think Nascar is their thang ...
.
... and not to be mean about it , but , just being honest with you readers about how I feel :
.
... Kentucky Derby people are just Indy 500 people with their brains kicked out ... :eek:
.
... imo ...

... hey Thong ... I voted on your Survey ... what did I win ? ...

/msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif
... I think I'll take liberties with slack's post ... it should have read like this :

at the ... Indy 500 ... you get to... make fun of the people who ...wear the cool hats
and it would be a good weekend away from jay


.
... :D
.

... touche' buddy ...

right on the mark there wayne... although in the heart of Indiana, the lack of rednecks at the 500 is amazing...

Can you bring your own cooler/beverages into the Kentucky Derby? Do they have the wild infield at the Derby with free Black Crows (2005) concert and booobies galore? Carb day? the parade? the Pacers in the playoffs (not this year)? Brookside DG course? - -- All of the above shout 500, no doubt about it.

Just be careful, if you are fortunate enough to park in the HiPo parking lot, watch where you enjoy the post-race festivities. "I'm never too out to....." :eek:

Thanks for driving again Swgert.

.....rip a h**t :D

Yeah, we parked in the HiPo parking lot and got some chin music from on of the cops nearby...this guy who was with us got caught partying a little too hard, for a second I thought this off duty cop was going to take us all to jail.

So much fun!!!!

Thong, you made up your mind yet?

There is a sweet disc golf course in Indy, if I remember correctly it favors leftys :o

not quite yet... but i am leaning towards indy as of right now. :confused:

Who drinks mint julips anyway? :p

Makers mark man. :D

not quite yet... but i am leaning towards indy as of right now. :confused:


.
.
... "leaning" ? ... c'mon Thong ... there is no decision to be made here ... as soon as you asked the question ; those of us that have been knew the answer ... the whole scene at Indy is custom-made for a guy like you ...
.
... watch a horse-race ? ... ? ... not even in the same league , Mr.Le ... :cool:

... put julips on somethin' better than "mint" ... /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Just curious and why?

i would go to the...... to choose one is acceptance of one and rejection of the other. it is cruel to inflict rejection. all things are living molecular structures with feelings. it is very important be be aware of and respect the feelings of everything around us. therefore we should make no choices in life, simply live and exist in acceptance and allow fate to guide us. now that you are aware of passive reaction, live it and life will bring you harmony. peacefrog and donovan

Hunter S. Thompson had a great story in "The Great Shark Hunt" about him barging in on the Kentucky Derby with no tickets or press passes, but with plenty of drugs.

Of course, he gets complete access to all but one room at the Derby. This one room he can't get into is like the Governors suite or something, and Hunter is just convinced that, "That's where the action is."

So, he is sitting in some VIP room with his friend. And they are drinking mint juleps. And Hunter says one of my favorite lines ever, he is sitting there drinking his drink watching the people walk by and he says something like...

"A man in a hat asked me a question about a horse race. And I told him. 'What would I want to watch a horse race for? I am hear to watch the real animals.'"

Just thought you might want to know... :D

you can bet at churchill downs.

'What would I want to watch a horse race for? I am hear to watch the real animals.'"





What the?

'What would I want to watch a horse race for? I am hear to watch the real animals.'"





What the?



Its Hunter S. Thompson you uneducated fool!

Hunter S. Thompson may his untamed soul rest in peace. :(
Simply put, a brilliant and fearless hero of the nineteenth century.

'What would I want to watch a horse race for? I am hear to watch the real animals.'"





What the?



The real animals were the people walking by the bar...

... so what did you ever decide on this , Thong ? ...
.
.
... Indy 500 ...
.
... or ...
.
... Kentucky Derby ... ?

Thong, I had no idea the Churchill Downs infield was this much of a freaking party!!! After I read this article (http://sports.espn.go.com/travel/news/story?id=2415737&lpos=spotlight&lid=tab6pos1) I could see how the Derby is at even par with Indy 500. I can see how it would be a tuff choice between the two.

I'm putting the Derby on my list of "must see" Sporting Events.

My current Sporting event wish list:

World Series -
SuperBowl -
World Cup Soccer -
Kentucky Derby -
Indy 500 - Done it!!
Daytona -
Golf Major - Done it!!

Old School you need to add a couple to your list

The Final Four is a GREAT one
& the Masters has to be EPIC

World Cup Soccer is a MUST. I got to go to a few games when the World Cup was here in Dallas. It was CRAZY. Before the Holland Brazil quarter final match, the fans were on both sides of the street chanting, and then they would all come together, drink a beer, and then go back to there chants. Priceless

Old School you need to add a couple to your list

The Final Four is a GREAT one
& the Masters has to be EPIC



For some reason attending the Final Four is not very important to me, I would rather attend a BCS bowl game.

The Masters is a TUFF TUFF ticket to get...If I had the chance to go I would do whatever it takes...I've heard that people pass their tix down from generation to generation.

Go to the Derby, Thong, turn 3 is where all the action is!!!

I've known all this man that is why it is a tough choice. I've had other people tell me crazy stories from the infield.

I've already committed to the 500 this year and passed up the free duckets I could've gotten for the derby. Maybe next year

Next year I'm in for the Derby, let's start planning!!

Whooohooo!! I'm headin for Turn 3 biatches!!

I can get us a free pad to crash down there possibly.

Yes Yes Yes...that will leave us more MINT JULIP money. Just kidding, I'll be drinking the domestic stuff.

One thing about the 500 that overrides the Derby would be the race lasts longer :Ddon't forget your am/fm radio, it doubles as ear plugs when those carts are hawling #$*&$! past you.

And whatever you do, try not to look at all the "flashing" going on at/during/before/after the 500 :D

I'm down for the DERBY....I'm luvs the ponies,

http://www.sunrisebeachhomes.net/Images/FINGERLAKES-RACE-TRACK.jpg

Derby day has a dozen races that day....so the entire day at the races is at least 4 hours of good times

If you guys want I can make plans for it next year and have us possibly a place to stay for free walking distance from the track. That was my option this year do not know if it going to be there next year though. :(

Well if you can make it happen for a free place to stay that would be great...if not, I have no problem throwing down on a hotel, preferrably a hotel near the track and full of party animals like us :D

Derby, i need my hearing.

... the pace car this year is a 'vette (again :() ...

... but , Lance Armstrong will be driving it ... :D
