Dress Code: You
While others show up in costumes, it is actually not a must to do so. As long as you are in your cozy get-up, it doesn’t really matter if you wear your pajamas, an evening gown, or a plain shirt. What’s important is that you wear your spirit!
Loyalty is Key!
Not to be dictatorial, but watching other motorsports is a grave offense. You’re not even allowed to be curious about in other stock car racing like Formula 1. Think about it like you are in a fraternity. If you join another brotherhood, it will be a serious betrayal.
Take it Seriously
With cars running around the track at the speed of 200 mph, one wrong turn can result in an undesirable event. Although flying car parts and on-flame vehicles rarely happen, Fans condition their mindset with the worst possible scenario.
Don’t Mind the Weather
NASCAR somehow has a similar vibe with the music festival. The crowd doesn’t care if you smell like the burning sun or if you look like a walking wet laundry. Fans only care about who will win the race, no matter what the weather is.
Participation is a Must
