Wow that all sounds so exciting, thanks guys! I'll be in town from the Tues b4 to the Mon after race day so have plenty of time to check out the scenery. I've been invited over by one of the IRL tech directers but I want to sit in the grandstand for the actual race instead of being tucked in behind-the-scenes. Tim, I appreciate your offer and will certianly be in touch if I need direction on best seating ... Cheers
