Contact Roketman. He has an extra ticket I believe.

Wondering what most people are doing for the race? Going all day every day? What are the "not to be missed" parts of the weekend? First timer! Thanks.

 

[dbk]

For during the 24: start, dusk, dawn, finish. Depending on how the race is going I usually stay until 12-1 am.

Friday I'd definitely watch the Continental Tire race at 1:45 PM and the rest of the time as much practice, paddock and loud noises as you can handle.

A note to all, BRING HEARING PROTECTION, you will be glad you did, especially if you have anything custom. Of course for a few bucks you can buy plugs at the track also.

 

[dbk]

Pretty sure they will give out ear plugs. They did at Petit Le Mans with the Ford Performance goodie bags.
