Is it like other ALMS races where if you get the general admission you can just walk around the infield? Or are the only good spots to watch in the grandstands?
I've never gotten reserved seating at a race before- at all other ALMS & F1 I just got the infield/general tickets, but here I can't tell how great the general admission viewing would be.

I have been going since 2007. I bought a paddock pass the first year before I found that was for Indy cars (lame) and ALMS was free (

I always get the reserved seats. You can't get great photos from down low because of the fences, and the reserved seats are in the better spots. They give you an assigned section but they really only check in the beginning. I usually go up in the General seats near the hairpin for the first half, then go over to the other side of the track by the paddock where my reserved seats are for the finish. People are starting to clear out by then and you can pretty much go where you like.
You could probably get by with general admission, and even get into the reserved area later in the race, but the nice thing about the reserved seats, though, is that you do have the pass to get into the better grandstands.
I think the reserved seats were not too much more.
