The Famous Swimming Beer Brats Submitted by: Cassie Hall VA
There are as many variations to this recipe as there are people who make it, but here are the
basics. Portions depend on the number of people in your group.
Get a large, rectangular roasting pan that will fit on half of your grill.
Slice onions and place them in the roaster pan with a stick of butter
or equal amount of margarine for approximately six large onions
sliced. Cook them down until caramelized and then pour over just
enough beer to coat them. Season with salt, pepper and any other
spices you like. Allow the onions to cook down stirring often while
you grill your brats on the other side.
After the brats are finished grilling place them in the roaster pan with the onions. Pour in a
large can of beef broth and as many beers as you can stand to where the brats are completely
covered. Water can be added as well to make up the difference if you have a large pan.
Add more seasonings to taste and allow the brats to finish cooking in the pan for approximately
30 minutes. (It's okay at this point to eat one if you are starving).
If you are using a gas grill you can put the buns in another roaster pan covered with foil with
the grill on low heat. Even better if you can adjust the temperature one each side of the grill,
turn the bun side off.
If you are using a small or round grill, get a pan to fit your grill, cook the brats first and then
start the process.
This is so easy that it's really not a recipe. It allows your guests to get a hot & juicy brat even if
they are out checking out the happenings at the track. They can serve themselves when they
are ready. You can leave the brats in the pan for a couple of hours covered with foil and on
low heat without any issues.

Pizza On The Grill submitted by Bill W. Concord NC
We love pizza and since we do not have an RV with an oven when we camp, we learned a trick
that others might like to try.
We have a round dome top grill and found a pizza stone at Walmart.
We have seen some pizza stones that were made just for grills, but
our $10 works just fine.
Start a small fire in the middle of the grill with approximately
20 briquettes and after it's going place the pizza stone right on the grill. Allow it to heat up for
ten minutes and then place a frozen pizza (thawed okay) right on the stone. Replace the lid
and let it cook for about 15-20 minutes. Check to make sure it's done by looking at the crust
and if the cheese it melted and browned. Thick or deep dish pizza requires more charcoal and
a longer cooking time. Thin or regular crust works the best.
You can do the same thing with a gas grill (it's actually easier to control the heat) but we like
the smoky flavor with the charcoal grill.

Our First Infield Camping Experience At Talladega By Beth Sandlin
Like everyone we had heard the stories of the wild partying and out of control fans going all night long in the infield camping at Talladega, but we just had
to give it one try so we did just a few weeks back.
As soon as we arrived the first thing we noticed was people willing to help us get backed in to our space, assisting with the jacks, awnings and placing our
chairs out, etc.
We had six invitations to come over to other peoples camps and have food and drink with them before we were even set up.
We had a long trip so my husband and I decided to take a nap before continuing with the festivities and nobody bothered us.
During the evenings there was a lot of laughter, whooping & hollering, but nothing out of control. Everyone was respectful of our space and only came
over when invited.
If you are easily offended by swear words or seeing a few staggering people here and there it's probably not for you. I would compare it to a milder version
of Mardis Gras as we didn't see anyone flashing themselves for beads, etc.
It does get loud at times and especially Friday & Saturday night, but it was a lot of fun. The people were friendly and extremely generous with their food
and libations. We could have seriously brought nothing with us and ate & drank like royalty the entire time.
Early Sunday morning it was sort of like a ghost town with a lot of people sleeping in (or sleeping off their cheer) but it soon picked up again with
anticipation of the race and the smell of cooking bacon and eggs in the air. We accepted a breakfast invite with our neighbors two spaces down that had a
spread that would put a five star hotel's buffet to shame.
The race was great and the whole experience was better than we expected. Anyone who has the opportunity to try it should at least once.
