I was thinking of making my first trip this year and had a few questions:

1. Whats the the best Hotel to stay at?
2. Is it to late to get tickets?
3. Fly or drive?

Thanks for you help and any other tips would be appreciated.

Pit pass last year was &=$75 bucks PLUS a set of tickets for a grandstand seat for all 5 nites which you surrendered and got the seat number put on the wrist band. That got you in the pits and in your seat at any time. I don't recall what the pit pass alone cost (I think its more than ticket holder pay) but it does NOT guarantee you a seat. Pit seating is very limited and taken with blankets early each day.
