Hehe...I was hoping to bait some of y'all. I do plan on going as of now. Got two tix and hope to be there the majority of that Saturday. I'm as interested in seeing the game on the large screen suspended in the middle of the track as I am to be there. It'll be interesting.

Be sure to take your high powered field glasses.  You'll need them, no matter where you are sitting.

My experience at some Bristol races has really made me reluctant to go.   Too much traffic.

Judging on the tickets I've been offered, I'm thinking there are several who are having second thoughts. The experience would be neat but I'm watching this one from home, if for no other reason than what Vinnie mentioned (traffic).

One of the main reasons I am going is I have a couple of seats on a chartered bus there and back. I can at least catch some ZZZs in the line to get out. I've also been to Bristol races and traffic is nightmarish at best. So, I would understand anyone not going because of that. Most of who I know are going will be camping Friday and Saturday nights to avoid the imminent traffic mess.

That's about the only way I would go, MT.  Just way too much mess and potential trouble for me.

I actually looked into one of those bus trips.  But the one I found that runs from Chattanooga won't go unless they can fill a bus.  And they were still showing 23 seats short when I looked last week.  I didn't want to risk buying a ticket and having them call it off at the last minute. :frown:
