On thing about infield camping the campground will be a cross between a Drunk Tank, a Zoo, and an Insane Asylum.

Absolute fact, or at least it was for many years. I spent much of my career in the area, as a contractor. The stories from employees and coworkers were legendary.
Years ago, a fellow apprentice in my class disappeared at the race, and reappeared a few days later. He got blind drunk and fell in a campfire at the race. The first responders took him north to Wilkes-Barre for some repairs. Wearing nothing but a hospital gown, and still totally sheet faced, he decided to check himself out of the ER a few hours later. As he is walking past the VA hospital, after dark, he runs into security. Since he is babbling, with no shoes and wearing a gown, they assume he is an escapee from their mental health lock up, and they return him to where they thought he belonged. Two days later, he convinces the staff that he is just a drunken idiot who really shouldn't be there. A local excavator got so sick of the stupidity that he banned his crew from attending. it was nothing to have one or two key people out of commission after a race. Everything from being too drunk to work on Monday, to falling off a bus roof and breaking an arm.
