007 - Kentucky Derby Infield (aka The Maelstrom!)

This is what the wild and crazy infield of the Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs used to look like, it was a sea of drunken idiots (Guess I was one of them! lol) back in the 80's and early 90's. Then some people got seriously injured from the ruckuses and the security started really cracking down on people bringing hard liquor in, etc. Then 9/11/2001 happened and they started really working people over before they let them in, taking away their lipstick,chewing gum, performing cavity searches, that sort of thing, and basically took all the dog gone fun out of it...
