I will be there for the entire thing in the ambulance on the Chicane. Like 28 hours by the time we get done.

My partner and I were in the same spot last year, and I think we ate enough for 3 crews. lol

I wish I could be there this year. That was the plan until the economy took a ****. But we are still going to the 500.

rolex 24 > 500. I'll be going again this year!

Keith, do know anything about parking inside? Is it going to be a hassle like it was last year? I'm prolly gonna try to come up friday night/sat morning, I just don't want to have to park outside the track and walk in like I did last year.

I would expect less people this year due to the economy. If you get there Friday night, parking inside shouldn't be a problem, just come in Turn 4.

We already have a couch and firewood. Working on securing a keg...

Also the Rolex is much cheaper than the 500.

I'll be there Saturday through Sunday. This will be the 9th year in a row for me. I wouldn't miss it for the world. Does anyone know what band is playing the concert this year? Sum 41 was there last year, I wouldn't mind seeing Styx play this year. lol I think we need to try and me up some time during the race.

anyone else going? Just called ticket office, student tickets are $15 and parking pass for the infield is $20. You do need a student id for the student pass though.

Dusty I'm still heading out with you. I can bring my PS3 and the game Grid which is badass. Let me know anything you want me to bring also. And I wouldn't mind heading out there Friday night, park the birds in a good spot

GT5 isn't out, only the prologue, which I have. And now it's looking like my rearend might not be rebuilt in time so I might have an big SUV rental?
