My info is dated, from 1994, but I bet not much has changed
In the grandstands it beautiful. Balloons rising, the singing of Back Home in Indiana, the cars, the excitement.
But, again this was in 1994, outside the speedway, a big party. Think Madi Gras without the costumes but all the alcohol. A lot of fun, but not what the network TV, or the chamber or commerce wants to shown.
And the track is really really big.
I was about 1/2 way up the grandstands at the apex of turn 4.
From my seat I could see the cars exit turn 3 and they would disappear again about 2/3 the way down the front straight.
