.

you can call it whatever you want provided you just buy a ticket and go...

I'll be in section G of the cheap seats, right across from you. Love that section of track as you can see passes at turn 10 and at the Rexall carousel, plus people occasionally clip the outside wall after the carousel.

Make sure the drivers see those blue flags! Andretti in particular - he almost took out Wilson and Briscoe at Watkins Glen while trying to avoid going a lap down.

^haha... will do... will do. If you have a decent lens, try to snap a pic of us in our whites!

thanks in advance

Turns 11 and 12 form a single-radius 180 degree turn - a half circle, commonly called a carousel. For the past couple years Rexall has had signage on the outside of the turn. Makes for great TV exposure, as the turn is a prime passing spot.

I'd love to find a patio, but have to help a neighbor finish hacking a tree down. Not the wind but lightning.

Not from what I can see. It'd be awesome to have Conquest's Northlands car in front of the WTC, though.

Can't wait - gonna be there when the gates open tomorrow! Stopped by the track last night and saw a bunch of team transporters there already.

I went by and as luck would have it, it was my friend and awesome driver Julian Pascoal. He and his Miata were there for they are sponsored in part by CWB and hosting a BBQ for the tower. (thanks for the burger).
