Little ground hornet story here with a Mopar twist: At National Trail Raceway the "E Gate" ticket building was unused except for the Nats. Well...we went down there on Thursday to set it up for the weekend and it was totally full of hornets and they were pouring out from under the building. Run Away! So now what, this gate was going to be super busy on Friday. We got to the track Friday EARLY, like 5 am,while it was cool and the hornets weren't swarming. With the giant forklift we picked up the building and drove it away as fast as it would go and 4 of us ran in quickly with gas & kerosene, soaking the ground and then setting it afire. Never were able to use the building that weekend so we had a tent set nearby and ran the gate from that. Ready to go by the scheduled opening time. Still plenty of hornets around but they were mostly concerned with WTH their nest went and no one got stung!
Ah, the fun, unexpected little things that come up when producing an event.
