I'm looking forward to it, sitting or standing!

I'll be in turn one.

I'm a mild mannered guy by nature but 1 thing that does make me mad is clueless people standing at a racetrack in the middle of the action. Especially when its' one guy in the section that is doing it. No problem speaking up when that happens.

And I have decided to go. Bought a ticket last night. Heading over Saturday afternoon. Do they allow people to wander the pit area before race time or are the pits closed all day unless you have a pit pass?

I'll stand if I want, but my seats are top row and have been for the last 30 years! Love this race

I will be there too, I was a hardcore non wing guy but this race is so addictive and unique. I will also say this is a super strong field this year!!

You need a pit pass for the pits. However a walk around the whole track is must and a history lesson. Check out the turn one restroom and make sure a drone isn't flying overhead if you use it.

Turn two BBQ pretty good. Usually also have a quick line for beer and pop in turn two out of a horse trough filled with ice.

Thanks for the tips. The 4 hour drive back home will preclude visiting the beer stand. But I’ll keep the other tips in mind. When I was young I went to a church camp that had open air bathrooms and showers. Kinda wigged me out when I was 12 but I’ll be sure to pay em a visit tomorrow. Lol

You won’t regret going. We went last year and glad we experienced it. That said I may never go back but I’m happy we went once. It hooks many folks, but not me
