Hickyard 400
On my way over. It's only a 20 minute bicycle ride, and I'm sure I can pick up a cheap, scalped ticket. (Paid $35 for sweet turn 4 seats during the 500).
I've got my jhorts, ratty t-shirt, and baseball hat. good to go

Attendance looked like it was down...
Be snobs about NASCAR all you want, but 208 in the straights ain't playing.

having been north of 200 once in a 935... on the IMSA course at Pocono.... 200 really gets and keeps your attention!! Plus the NASCAR Pilots get paid!!! I spend lots of money to go fast.... these guys get paid to do it...

Wow...what a race. I've been to the Indy 500 a ton of times, been to other races, but honestly, this was one of the coolest races I've been to.
Say what you want about NASCAR, but the cars are amazing. So much more louder, guttural, and exciting. I was able to snag tix right on the back straight, before turn 3. The back stretch is nice at Indy, because there is literally only about 10 feet between you and the track. (The front stretch has a "no-man's land" between the track and the bleachers.) When the pack of cars came screaming down the stretch, 200mph, the rush of wind literally blew me over. The weather was great, and even though attendance was definitely down, it was an overall great experience. Now I just need to hit up MotoGP this fall, and I'll get all 3 races in this year!

Attendance was way down. Lots of space for your cooler.
 So, how much was the street price on tix?
