Seats at the Indy Gran Prix?

[Wallace White]

Jim -

I've been to the race and Mike's right: everyone wants the seats at the
first turn, where most of the passing occurs. We sat in the middle of
the last turn (turn 1 for Indy cars). It was fun and loud but you didn't
see a lot of action.

During practice and qualifying, we enjoyed going to the turn at the
beginning of the back straight. There's a nice grass ridge where you can
sit and get a good view.

And yes, tickets were very cheap the day-of last year, but that was
particularly because it was shortly after 9/11, I think.

Have a great time if you go!
