Heading to Bloomington for the first time on Friday for the Burton Memorial. Any advice on where to grab a bite to eat before the race? Sit-down place but not fancy. A pizza, bbq, or burger place would work fine. I try to avoid national chains - would rather taste the local fare.
Then any tips on seating? Is it standard wooden bleachers or something else? Is a pit pass worth while? Any bleachers there or just watch-thru-the-fence?
Finally, what time should I leave the Speedway if I want to stop and eat and still catch the begining of hot laps?
Any/all advice is greatly appreciated in advance.
