DunnBenson in NC was just like that when I went 16 years ago. $5 to get in the gate whether you were a spectator or racing. They were betting on EVERYTHING!
Dunn Benson just got a MAJOR overhaul and is a really nice place now.

Looks NOTHING like I remember. Cool to see them investing in the track.

But the bottom line is , the people are there, lots of them, and they all look to be having fun. I wonder if that was normal attendance or what brought them all out. My experience is not many spectators anymore. 
it's ok to butt heads, just don't do it with a butthead

Surely not at a bracket race; "regular people" don't understand it. 
Anything "heads up" is pretty easy to follow: Don't red-light, beat the other guy to the stripe, you win!
Street racing around here had (has?) that same craziness to it, so it that doesn't surprise me. Loud talk, money, tons of b.s., and - sometimes - even a race.

A buddy and me went down there a couple years ago.....we towed 6 hours and took his turbo caprice out one night looking for some action and met up with some guys and went and hung out with fellow racers.....made it to the track the next day...this is when the supercharged caprice (super clean) light blue caprice use to race up there but the owner passed a bit ago....he was racing the dam yankee or something like that...we learned that weekend that drag radials dont work on these type tracks!
