I was there in the grandstand (took a break from the bbq stand to watch the big race). After the race, this drunk guy from Philly started yelling obscenities at a New Yorker, and very soon they were in a fistfight.

Being from the Philly area... I was not surprised the fight occurred, but I was able to crack a smile eventhough my young heart was broken.
