The last 2 shots on page 11 are taken from top row of turn 1 seating.Very good view from up there.A very nice feature is that fence is coated black so the veiw thru there will be good at night.Also turn 2 seating is being assembled as well as pad is poured for stands in 3.Place is incedible

Is it just the angle of the shot? or are these Ucker seats?

In the future are they going to raise the height of the front stretch stands? seems the first 15 rows will be starring at a concrete wall?
I stopped by the track yesterday after winchester and walked up to the stands in turn 1, from the bottom the only view I felt would be obstructed would be against the wall in turn 1. I would suggest if you sit there that you wear some glasses, not to see turns 3&4 but to protect your eyes from the mud being thrown at you. Unless of course you like that kind of thing. The front stretch? I didn't remember having a problem seeing the track standing on the walkway in front of the stands. This track looks bigger than twin cities and the banking is definetly more. Can't wait for opening night, driving an extra hour+ to see a race is getting old.

How many sets of bleachers does this place have now? Looks like it will be able to handle a Woo race pretty easy now. Now if anyone can afford them now will be the big ?????

Thanks Bob! Another week and she'll be ready!

Never got to stand in those turn stands but from your pics it looks like they will be excellent seating. They were working tonight at 8pm on the turn two stands.

There are three of the old or like the old turn one stands in turn one-two and a new 1700 person stand being built along the end of two and the backstraight. Plus another of those old turn one stands in turn three for the pits. Best estimate is 6-7 thousand seating capacity. Looking at the RV slab in back, It apears you could get about 15-20 of those down the backstraight which are also at TOP OF THE WALL Level.

I'll be out of town for the 24th but I feel a sickness coming on for the 31st. Won't miss the first sprint race I'll be able to see!
