    Turn 19 is my favorite. You can see turn 1 across the track, see guys come down the back straight down into 19, and watch as the go through 20 onto the main drag.

    The hill at Turn 1 is the best spot, slopped hill, great views, big screen and good amenities. Bring sunscreen, a hat and wear comfortable shoes. Arrive early on race day for the best spot.

    The track offers a variety of microbrews, local food vendors, and appeals to the masses! I have a fantastic time every year!

    I work here every once in awhile. It's a good place and a good atmosphere. The other staff is helpful and nice and the events are fun even if I'm on the job.

    Excellent view from turn 9 bleachers. Trams from gate to gate are nearly impossible. Prepare to walk walk walk.

    A muddy disaster event experience after the rain. Also, take extra time when leaving in a ride share. The lot reserved is out back with little room for traffic. It took us 2hrs to leave during F1

    They did an amazing job from start to finish on raceday. Volunteers were super friendly/informative. The shuttles kicked so much ass reducing the time to get in/out. They did need more food stands tho

    The Paddock Club if you can get it, Turn 15 for Grandstand seats and Turn 11 for general admission are your best bets. However, there's really no bad spot at this amazing track.

    The cars go really fast here. Watch your mirrors and don't give up the inside in the corners.

    Pro tip: be seated when the race starts. Having to get up for people who show up late is lame.

    Never go anywhere here, except for the Biergarten. Near turn 6&7. Shade, good beer, and TVs for all the good angles.

    Take the shuttle. The rideshare pickup area is at least a 25 minute walk through unlit wilderness.

    Great parking spot at 9016 Elroy Road! Closer that the lot in front the tracks and no crazy long walk or overpriced parking pass.

    If the Exxon on 812 is out of gas (again), there's another (larger!) gas station east on 812 about 5-7 minutes past Bubba's.
