Janesville/Route 66 NHRA Nationals ill be in Janesville, WI, USA 7th-13th June
im hoping to get to the NHRA Route 66 Nationals on the 7th or 8th.
Any info on the event whats it like?,can i buy tickets at the gate?, also is there a ticket that lets you walk around the pits or is that included in general admission or is that left to corporate tickets only etc.

Walk up tickets have a big *** line. Pit's are always open for NHRA. When you know you're going, get an advance ticket.
The one big crappy rule they have. 1 UN-OPENED bottle of water only. No food, no drink.
Hell they even took away an apple I had one time when we weren't racing.

There is only one ticket needed for anything. General admission & reserved seating both allow entry, pit pass, and a seat. General admission is looking into the sun. So you have to decide if it's worth $10 more to not stare at the sun all day.
If we don't race we usually get general admission, so everyone can come & go when they want, and still sit together. The 1 bottle rule is at the gate. So you can go back to car as much as you want, but it could be a long *** walk.
Especially if you get stuck parking outside at one of the old farms. That's why when one of us are racing,
we load the trailer with everyones coolers. Plenty of food & drink at the track, just not cheap.
