I'll probably swing by. My office is in downtown LB, so I usually get to see collateral activities (eg dirt bikes flying past my office window). A friend usually hands me VIP tix for the celeb. compound - I may not know who most the celebs are, but at least the food is pedestrian.

Here's what the front straight looks like, pre-race cars (on left, but probably without oncoming traffic); pits are on the right.

I read somewhere that off road racer Beccy Gordon is going to be a pro driver in the celebrity race... pretty cool

Friday through Sunday, 6 am to 6 pm, working pit lane with SCCA emergency pit/fire staff. Remember to:
1)bring earplugs, and
2)hit the king taco truck as early as possible to avoid the rush.

is there any free areas to watch from?

This is the most prestegious open wheel race in the country, yes more so then the 500 anymore. It is legendary sort of like the Monaco GP race but in the States.

All the free spaces have been gone for years, the hotels that over look the track inflate rates 10X for race weekend and usually sell out years in advance. Only free viewing is on TV
