Indy cars on an oval are about as good as it gets. Even if you don't go on race day.

I went up there several times in the 90s for practice and even one pole day. Every time I walked pit road the only driver greeting people and chatting was Gary B. The rest only accessible thru sponsor parties and several Riggs with catering and a sign that said if you don't have a million in your pocket, DO NOT ENTER. (Sarcasm)
That's my take on it. I could be completely wrong.
