I'm taking some newbies to the sport and would like to give them a great view of things. We plan to get there early.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

George,
My personal preference is to sit in a lawn chair on the concrete terrace section towards turn one. This area is directly south of the main grandstands and it affords a great view of the action. Also if the wind is from the southwest it helps keep the dust and dirt to a minimum especially if you are taking new race fans. I plan on being there this Saturday night so if you see someone with a navy IOW hat or sweatshirt it probably could be me. Hope you enjoy the show and maybe I will see you there.
Also, thanks for remembering Andrew. I appreciate all the support, thoughts and prayers.
