..Think I might be going to Indy qualifying for the 1st time, I presume some you have been there, any tips, advice, places to be etc., any help would be great.

Thanks!
 
Never been to the qualifying but went to Indy 500 some years ago. Had primo seats, under cover at the start/finish. Had to stay in Cincinnati because everything else was booked. The biggest single sporting event crowd in the world. Everyone has to do it once. We sat with the chocolate-covered strawberry crowd. The infield was worth watching, from afar.
 
Qualifying is great....and you can sit any place you wish....so roam around.

Sit behind the pits...sit on turn four...sit on turn one...sit in the main grandstand...sit as high as you can on the corners....and close to the pits...sit where there is a video screen directly across from you.

Be sure to visit the IMS Museum while you're there.

If you have time and it's not too crowded, eat lunch or dinner at the Union Jack Pub near Crawfordsville Road and High School Road.

So....did you make it to time trials? A report is mandatory. :smile:

I'll be at the track next Sunday - our seats are behind the pits in the Tower Terrace.
 
...Yes, sure did, mighty impressive, cars are not too interesting being "spec reacers", that was the only bad part. Still seeing those guys go into turn one flat is fantastic. Museum was worth the trip alone!
Pics to come.
 
Attendees at BritishV8 2010 in July will be treated to a visit to the museum.

We're also have a track day at O'Reily Raceway Park (formerly known as Indianapolis Raceway Park.)

Attempting to get a tour of Andretti Racing...but it iss like pulling teeth. May get a tour of John Force's shop, though.
