I may head out with my son for Sat. Although i have done a few DE's I have never actually been there to see a race. Any suggestions on best places to hang out? I heard they have a new concession area at turn 5 but no idea if you can drive out there or have to walk etc. The website is a bit lacking in details.
Thanks
Thanks

Ok then guess we will try and park around turn 3 which is close enough to head over to turn 5 as well. Turn 2 is my favourite turn to do when i am driving myself so will be interesting to watch real drivers do it!

My son and I went Sat and hung out for a good part of the day. Have to admit there was lots of space for camping and people were certainly enjoying themselves as it was a fine day!!
We sat at the top of turn 2 for a while and on the hill overlooking the turn 2-3 transition. However the best place was at the top of turn 3 so you could see most of 2, all of 3 and out to the top of 4. We had a GT3 Cup come in to the tires right in front of us mid way through turn 3. He was not happy but looked to me like it was his fault....
Didnt actually see any other Pcars there. Few M3's, an Aston and lots of pickups full of beer and firewood. Drove all the way to the end of turn 3 on the outside but couldnt get to turn 5 as it was closed to spectators due to construction
Fun day

Was there 2 on Saturday but not with my Pcar. Wife and Son in tow dictated something more comfy for them. Great racing, it was great seeing the cup cars flying and an educational experience as i have never driven this track, but I certainly look forward to it! Turns 1,2 and 3 look like a load of fun!
Zook, your race was pretty lonely out there... Too bad there were not many cars in this class.
My only gripe about the whole thing, was the surprise factor of the process to buy your ticket at the track. I had to have a wad of cash with me, which i did not. So I had to make a run to find an ATM missing in the process the Cup qualifying which I was not pleased about. IMO they should have made the process crystal clear on their website in order for first timers to be prepared. So lesson here if you are going for one day you will pay for the entire weekend you like it or not and then get a refund at the exit!! All in cash by the way!!
I'm sure there is GOT to be a better way dealing with this.
