Damn that looks bad ass! I think I'm gonna go tomorrow, if the tickets can be purchased at the gate. What are the prices and what do I get into to? Anyone have a schedule for tomorrow?

What is G/A and what time does the race start? What's the earliest I can get there? How is parking, is it free or do you have to pay for it?

went this afternoon and got to see some indy practice and the drift demo. had a really good time. since it seems like there are a couple people on here doing security i was wondering what kind of access a 'service' credential can get. i tried getting into the pit area and that was a no go lol. but i really wanted to get past that first fence area to be able to get some nice pictures. is that area only for media and course officials? i'll be going again on sunday so hopefully the weather holds up.

unless you have photo bib you arent going to get behind the fence. Unless you have a media pass that says pit access you arent going to get to the pits. They changed a few things this year I believe due to ALMS cause they have a total different set of safety rules and are strichter

actually come race day unless you have a fire suit on you are not going to get into pit lane

Sweet, so all I have to do is wear a fire suit?
