IDK how early you have to get there, but I have waited in line at 8am to get to park at the stadium.

I often park just outside the gate and walk in. Not as convenient, but that's what I do Sunday so I can get on the road towards home (6 hour drive for me).

You are probably close enough to spit on them as they go by doing about 130mph. One of the best venues to watch the races.

For sure props to Brad for setting up a great booth and the ez-ups; and nice meeting a couple guys.

Races were solid and that cruiser in the jet class looked way to nimble to be that big. He had a wild setup, see pic below.

Also a few other random pics of some beautiful boats onsite.
