Perhaps you could call it a vlog perhaps not part of me would call it a vlog but I believe vlogs in the current
Definition. Anyway have a certain I guess a certain series of I don't know if I'd call it
qualifications, but just a certain style of
Cinematography that this video does not happen vlogs. I feel are far more
professionally done nowadays, this is not

I hate passing the hat around but it needs your help. I well anyway with that out of the way
Let's get on to the good stuff
So we begin our amazing journey in a state of complete shock and bewilderment
Reviewbrah going to NASCAR? What is he smoking?
Well not actually smoking anything, but you know
tomato tomahto I
Have actually been a NASCAR fan for probably the last
12 or so years, I would I would wager so I go back with that and it had been a yearly tradition
Again for probably the last 12 years to go out to Pocono, Pennsylvania
To the NASCAR race there and just you know see a NASCAR race firsthand
Now I'm not gonna say I'm the most fervent NASCAR fan in the world because I'm not you know
I'm gonna say that outright
I don't know everything about the sport nor do I know everything about the participants.
but I have fun watching it and to me it's enjoyable and
I think it's just an experience and it's something that's fun to do once a year.
You know, it's a yearly thing and that's where it stands. We begin our story not at the racetrack
No, no my friends we go to a place called Mount Airy Casino Resort
Now you may be saying, "Why are you going there Reviewbrah?" Well, the reason is simple
number one sustenance and
number two a place to sleep.
That's why they call it a
resort, you know it's like it's a place where you can lay down and
go to sleep there and it's a nice hotel - I was I was there in the past and it's got a good reputation or
Anyway, I went there I went to the restaurant that's inside the casino.
And I recommend at least be 21 if you go there because otherwise you'll get hassled, you know with ID and everything.
So just make things a lot easier and you can just you know, go freely into whatever you want then but it's called the
bistecca
And it's good. It's like an Italian restaurant, but it has some really good steaks
I recommend that I personally though I I didn't go with the blessed steaks instead. I actually went by
Lowered myself to go with the burger there, but it was a very good burger. So we'll give that one a pass
I'll give it a pass
Maybe you won't but I will and you know if you want to grab the torches because I didn't get the steak
No
No, that's the life that you want to live
I you know, I'm hands-off you can you can do what you want to do, but it was a good burger
So just take that into account first and it had Bacon on it and the fries were good
There's a picture of the fries. They're actually called truffle fries and
They're just really really good. I mean, I just really enjoyed them
There's good quality, you know, it's not the cheapest restaurant in the world, but I do firmly believe that it was
an instance of
Getting what you pay for if you get what you pay for then perhaps it is indeed worth it, but keep that in mind
The hotel room was was good. You know, I can't really complain
You know hotel rooms are what they are and there's there's a certain hierarchy of hotel rooms
To me as long as the hotel room is clean and you know
There aren't any dirty needles hidden behind the bathroom mirror and you know, there's no obvious
bloodstains or other
stains on
Anything that I can see I'll likely crash out there for the night, but this is a very well-kept hotel room
It was nice. The bed was comfortable, though the one thing with the bed
it's got like those really squishy pillows that like
It feels like a sink into I always like a firmer pillow if you ask me
So that's so I like the contour pillows these you know
It's like it's like it's quicksand and I'm just being devoured by the bed while I'm trying to lay down
But whatever it was from one night, and it was all right
now keeping that into consideration, however
there was one thing that
was a little bit of an issue there and I
Think I summarized at best myself
You know what? My favorite thing is
you ever find yourself in a hotel room and you sit there and you wonder you know, I
Wish my hotel room had a sick
Audio system that just played, you know bass thumping music all night long
I've got a solution for you. It's 12:30 right now. We got it right out the window there
Yes, yes the the pool which happened to be across from there was having one one kickin
Party, for some reason, you know, you can make up the occasion. We're just gone with it. We're just going in storytelling mode
Maybe it could be like Reviewbrah Mad Libs so you can make up what the party was for
Maybe they were throwing a party for you, you know, maybe you didn't even know it but they were they were celebrating you
That's all say that were they were throwing you a party whether you were there or not
That's what it was for but they were blasting loud music until 2:00 a.m. And
I mean, you know how it is. Like if someone has a really
Loud bass system in the car. They're parked outside
Your house at your apartment or one of your neighbors is throwing a party and they got the music. That's just you know, it's thumping
And it's going crazy like that
It was like that late into the night, so I didn't get a lot of sleep
the good thing though
The casino did have a Starbucks in it
So when I had to wake up early the next day so I could get to the racetrack
At least I had the coffee there to give me the power to make it to the to the destination
Upon which I needed to get to
all right, so we made it through the hotel and the casino and the
celebrations and the burgers the burger
controversy the burger fiasco and
all points in between
And we moved to the racetrack now
And you know the hotel the whole experience there was good
I think I think if you really look at anything, you could pick it apart and you can dissect it
you could always, will always, find things that you
Didn't like or if that's even too strong things that you you wish could have been improved in one way or another
Always, you know, so it's just that's just how it is
But I enjoyed it overall and that's what's important good hotel and I enjoy it. There was a funny moment there
I'll tell it, why not? There's a funny moment. Where outside the
Hotel room there in the hallway. There was some drunk guy
banging around in there and
He got to his hotel room door. I mean it was so loud
I think he was in the room next to the one I was in and I could hear him just slamming the hotel room
The door from the hallway, but this is full body weight
But he's just trying to smash the door in and at first I was a little alarmed
I didn't know if there was a you know, he was trying to get in very forcefully if he was perhaps unwanted there was a
fight or whatever, but then it just turned out that he was so drunk that he forgot that he needed to use the
little electronic
card to get into the hotel room
He thought that if he just used his brute force, he would be able to get into the door that way
So after a good number of expletives, which I'm not gonna repeat here
He eventually realized that he has to use the key which he had on him the whole time too to get into the door
all right, we're past the the hotel in the casino and we're at the racetrack now and
NASCAR is a is a mystical place of
Fun and wonderment and you see all sorts of things there
You know you see everything some things you wish you didn't have to see there's the Lizard God
kind of throwing some
offerings to the crowds
Who have gathered to see him, you know, so
there's that but you could walk around there outside of the
the actual stadium itself they have this I call it a fanfare where they have all these little booths booths set up and
you know, you can walk around you can buy your t-shirt, you know, your baseball cap, you can go and
Whatever buy a little radio scanner so you can hear the you know
The drivers and the pit crews and everything talking to each other some little places where you can whatever buy some drinks some samples
you know spend
I should say waste your money on something that you think you're actually gonna use but it turns out you're never gonna use it
But you know, they they just had a good salesman and they suckered you in but how long will forget that one!
So
Once you make it through there and by then they've already scanned your ticket and they've already done the bag check
So, you know, you've already gone through security. No, no full body scanners there
You get to the seats...
And that's not like this is in any particular order. This is merely the way I did it
It's not like they're gonna force you to do one thing or else
You don't even have to do this
If you don't until you could just sit there in the parking lot all day or you can go straight to the seats
you know, yeah, you can do it in any particular order that you'd like I suppose and
You get to the seat and
you know, it's in these huge I
Wouldn't even call them bleachers, you know, they're grandstands
Really they're massive and I'll show you a picture that I'm in a little bit, but I think you can see by the view
That's up there
There is certainly quite the the space that you can see from there. It gives you
Almost like a little perspective of how massive this racetrack is how many people it can...
Fit I suppose how many people are there and just the perspective of the size of it all
it easily you could easily get lost there and
There is one complaint. I do have to say
It's that the staff that were there, with all due respect, I should say
They they they were having a little bit of an issue I suppose
trying to direct people
Where to seat it seems like they just really weren't versed very well
in terms of the actual seat numbers and sections and they were just kind of pointing people wherever and I
saw countless times
they were just assuring people to the wrong seats and then someone who was actually supposed to be sitting there would show up and
Then there would be confusion and I saw that happens so many times
And I just wish some of the employees there were perhaps better versed in what they were to be doing. Well nonetheless
Got the seats there. You got the view, you know, was just there looking around, the race still had yet to start
I was there a few hours early and then I got hungry so I went and I got some chicken strips and
Yeah the food there is alright. Don't expect any healthy
Options or alternatives. I'm afraid I got the chicken strips, you know, there's a there is my
Instagram food blog photo for it and they were good. I know I enjoyed them
I was kind of just hanging out underneath the the grandstands there
That's what a lot of people were really doing because I just wanted to stay in the shade
It's that's what I was doing. But those pictures give a good
Representation of of how big I feel that these grandstands really were they were Towering and you certainly get a good workout
Going, you know up and down them and of course if you do have a disability
You know, you just can't make the climb whatever it is
They do have elevators that does go up and up and down and can get you still to your destination and the race itself
the race itself is
You know, I find it interesting. I think it's fun. I
Think it's enjoyable. It's an experience. The one thing that you will you will never be prepared for though. Unless you've actually been there is
Truly how loud those race cars are?
because no doubt they are incredibly incredibly loud and I
Mean they are just they are thunderous
I'd highly recommend getting some earplugs just in case but trust me the camera the television cameras nothing does it any?
justice
Until you actually see it. They're incredibly loud. The race itself can
You know it all depends on on how much you like the sport itself if you really follow it close
You might be on your edge edge of your seat the entire time
if you don't so much you might just be looking forward to the
accidents which do happen, but
Granted it's not
Continuous action in that regard and there's really no control over when or if they will happen
Of course if you don't care at all and I've seen some people there and it didn't then it might be boring
It might be as a snoozefest
I actually saw this despite these extremely loud cars going by there was some guy who was actually sitting there sleeping
So it's entirely possible
What I do see some strategies that people use to
Make it really exciting. I'll see some people they'll just pound down beer after beer after beer. So then no matter what happens
It's gonna be a thriller
nonetheless, I've seen that so many times I
I wouldn't advocate that I believe in drinking responsibly but it's just what I've seen
But just make of it what you will if it's something that you're interested in take a look check it out
But no matter what? Yeah, I thought it was enjoyable. It's something that I do once a year, perhaps and I
Just enjoyed it. That's all I have for you.
This is just a little random miscellaneous video again, not a review or anything
But just merely sharing my thoughts and experience and hope you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching. I'm your host TheReportOfTheWeek.
That's all. Thank you and take care!
