how much are tickets? i wanted to go last year but got stuck with lots of homework.
2 day tickets including garage and infield access and grandstand seating were like 75-80? Call 1800PITSHOP

w0ady I'll pm you my number, I'm driving a red 4 door GTI now - if I see your car I'll try and park near you.

Keep your fingers crossed for good weather

Jon

Ya, the Mazda's really surprised me too. I had no idea they had anything with so much grunt. and the sound was awesome. More like a bike sounding. Though the loud growl of the V8's was nice too.

Too bad the weather sucked. Most of my pictures didn't turn out to well. I am going through them now, and will post a few good ones latter. next time, I am bringing a step ladder. Not enough good vantage points of the track for photography, unless you have press credentials.

I have a few photos up on my pbase site. I did not have very good luck. The conditions didn't lend themselves well to picture taking. Plus, finding a good location is difficult with all the security fences around the track. I didn't find shooting up high from the grandstands was very good.

Anyway, here is one i like:



A few more can be found here:

Enjoy.
