I will be sitting up high on the turn four end. It is where most of the spotters sit. It is cool because you can pick up some interesting tidbits from them. Hope to see some of you guys there.

Does anyone have any info on expected car count? Last chance race? When was the last time this was ran? 06, 05?

sprntr, the partying sounds great. Pack a few Pepsi's for me. Yeah, non drinker here but my goofy antics make up for that.

Richie, make sure you don't miss hot laps, because they are incredible. A cushion builds up and they really haul it in the turns. Some people said they weren't even lifting last year. Forecast this morning says sunny and 73 Saturday, looks good.
