• 1:01
  SPEAKER_00: But uh yeah, it was absolutely gorgeous.
• 1:03
  SPEAKER_00: Like everything up at the uh track when we were up there for grid life.
• 1:06
  SPEAKER_00: What a neat experience, by the way.
• 1:07
  SPEAKER_00: I have to tell you.
• 1:08
  SPEAKER_00: So we have seen NASCAR many, many times.
• 1:11
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:11
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, that's something that we're yeah, we've been a part of this now, and being at the track and doing different things.
• 1:16
  SPEAKER_01: It's nothing like that.
• 1:17
  SPEAKER_00: We've seen Salem's, you know, the six hour at the Glenn, the word I hate IMSA.
• 1:22
  SPEAKER_00: I hate I don't know why.
• 1:23
  SPEAKER_00: I just I it it's one of those where it's like moist for a lot of people.
• 1:27
  SPEAKER_01: Oh yeah, yeah.
• 1:28
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, so this was totally different.
• 1:31
  SPEAKER_01: It is.
• 1:31
  SPEAKER_01: It's uh and and and Scott and I noticed this too, even with the merch, it's a certain lifestyle that is I can see like that EDM hip-hop crowd.
• 1:42
  SPEAKER_00: Like it was a very but mixed with racing, it was the weirdest thing.
• 1:45
  SPEAKER_00: We met a uh a whole group of people.
• 1:48
  SPEAKER_00: Allie was in line to get to uh drift, he had to wear long pants.
• 1:51
  SPEAKER_00: I was in shorts, of course, because it was a thousand degrees.
• 1:54
  SPEAKER_01: I can't believe that I decided to wear pants that day, too.
• 1:56
  SPEAKER_00: And uh we had we were just standing there.
• 1:58
  SPEAKER_00: I was hanging out with you while you were in line for a few minutes, and we were talking to uh what six people from New Jersey that had come?
• 2:04
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, and they were probably, if I was to guess, 25.
• 2:09
  SPEAKER_00: If that.
• 2:10
  SPEAKER_01: If that.
• 2:10
  SPEAKER_00: If that they were super nice, though.
• 2:12
  SPEAKER_00: We were just, you know, kind of getting the rundown of it all.
• 2:15
  SPEAKER_01: They said that they were actually there for the music, but the racing just became part of the whole culture of it too.
• 2:20
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, when this comes back again, you guys gotta recommend.
• 2:23
  SPEAKER_00: I I recommend checking it out.
• 2:25
  SPEAKER_01: I saw that the operations manager for Watkins Glenn International wants to bring it back next year, too.
• 2:31
  SPEAKER_00: I would.
• 2:31
  SPEAKER_00: I absolutely would.
• 2:32
  SPEAKER_00: This could become an annual staple.
• 2:34
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 2:34
  SPEAKER_00: Because you know, here's the thing.
• 2:35
  SPEAKER_01: It would become our electric daisy.
• 2:37
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know what that means.
• 2:39
  SPEAKER_01: Electric Daisy is remember when I went to Vegas, I was telling you there was that huge EDM festival with 300,000 people.
• 2:44
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 2:45
  SPEAKER_01: That's electric daisies in Vegas, and this would be like the East Coast version.
• 2:50
  SPEAKER_00: And don't just go with the EDM though.
• 2:52
  SPEAKER_00: It was that racing culture.
• 2:53
  SPEAKER_00: Like here, here's the other piece to it too is with NASCAR, and I this is not a negative.
• 2:58
  SPEAKER_00: NASCAR has a very base audience, they have a very clear demographic that they shoot for, and it's cool to see.
• 3:05
  SPEAKER_00: It is, it's wildly different from that.
• 3:07
  SPEAKER_01: What I like about it too is it opens up racing to a younger generation.
• 3:12
  SPEAKER_01: And that was just because NASCAR, I think, has started to lean older.
• 3:16
  SPEAKER_01: You still have your diehards and and whatnot, but you're catching some race fans at a younger age that you probably would not have caught before.
• 3:24
  SPEAKER_00: Yep.
• 3:24
  SPEAKER_00: Yep.
• 3:25
  SPEAKER_00: In the NASCAR world.
• 3:26
  SPEAKER_00: And uh 1793, this is Chad.
• 3:28
  SPEAKER_00: I see your text, but I have absolutely no clue what you're talking about.
• 3:32
  SPEAKER_00: So I'm just gonna give you a shout out saying, I I see you, don't understand what you mean when you say what you say.
• 3:38
  SPEAKER_01: Also, Emily said grid life people are the same people that go to Vans Warp Tour.
• 3:42
  SPEAKER_01: Some, there's some, there's some overlap.
• 3:44
  SPEAKER_00: That's a different demo.
• 3:45
  SPEAKER_00: But Vans is now, you gotta realize Vans is even older.
• 3:48
  SPEAKER_01: Well, I'm Elder Millennial?
• 3:51
  SPEAKER_00: My God, it is.
• 3:52
  SPEAKER_00: How does that make you feel?
• 3:54
  SPEAKER_01: I love it.
• 3:55
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, this is the Gen Z of racing.
• 3:57
  SPEAKER_01: This Saturday, I'm going to a festival outside of Cleveland, and I know that I can wear a skirt, and I know that I'm not gonna have eyeliner dripping down my face because I'm not getting in the mosh pit anymore.
• 4:09
  SPEAKER_00: No, it's days those days.
• 4:10
  SPEAKER_00: Those days are over, and I think it's you think you did damage to your phone now.
• 4:14
  SPEAKER_00: Try that.
• 4:14
  SPEAKER_00: Yes, along with your hip.
• 4:16
  SPEAKER_01: I think this festival is going to be basically like a bunch of that.
• 4:20
  SPEAKER_01: It's gonna be people my age.
• 4:22
  SPEAKER_01: I don't have to worry about some guy spilling his beer on me because he's he doesn't want to waste the money, you know?
• 4:28
  SPEAKER_01: He's like, I got an electric bill to pay for.
• 4:31
  SPEAKER_00: That's what Vans Warp Tour has become now.
• 4:34
  SPEAKER_00: I have an electric bill I have to pay.
• 4:35
  SPEAKER_00: Exactly.
• 4:36
  SPEAKER_00: Can I afford this?
