If you get off of I-80 at the Route 53/Chicago Street South exit (the one for the track) you will see guys selling tickets about a mile north of the track. You might be able to get some for a really good price.

I was there Friday wish someone would have called! JFWY! We had a good time. We got a chance to get inside one of the camera crew trailers to see all the video equipment for the NHRA. My bosses cousin works for them so we had an in. Only problem is I took so many pictures that the card in the camera copied over the ones inside the trailer. Kinda sucks because I thought some of that would have been cool to share. One of the guys that works with him his name was Wayne Thing. I thought that was a pretty cool name! I did get some other pictures. I will try to post some later. Vince
