As for the question, GA doesn't get you a seat, which I don't think is necessarily a bad thing. You can roam the track and look for a good spot in the morning, and $10 is way better than some of the absurd prices people are paying that won't get them a great view anyway.

Don't buy a GA ticket from anyone on the street. Walk up to the gate and buy one. I doubt they'll turn anyone away, but if they do, it'll probably be in the afternoon.

yeah, but up here we are used to bringing coolers in. i agree with you on GA, the seats are usaully the "boring" people anyway. i like being in the yard, just like i like the infield at the derby. how can you run your mouth,drink and smoke when you are stuck in a seat next to the q-tips!

not sure if this had been answered or not.... but whats the difference in GA $10 and Clubhouse $20?

GA gets you into the grandstand area, Clubhouse actually gets you into the Clubhouse area.

They do not, but you're inside and much nearer the finish line. You can stand right above the seating area and watch from there. There's also a pretty good bank of tv's with benches in the area.

can someone give me a little closer orientation as to where you can find legal street parking. There are neighborhoods directly south and southwest of the track entrance. I assume that we are not talking about north of the rail line or east of the track itself. On google earth, I could not see any walking path that would get you on to track grounds, parking areas or anywhere.

Thanks, I know it will be a charlie foxtrot after the big race, but would like to have some shot at not still being stuck in traffic at 8:00.
