Anybody going to the Daytona 500?

I picked up some dirt cheap flights with Southwest today for the 500 weekend.

Now trying to decide which section to sit in and if I want to catch the Sat race also.

Anybody else headed to Speedweeks?

I've given up driving over for the 500, every time I do it rains. I always go over for July's race, and sit in the Sprint Tower, just right of the S/F line.

I wanted to get in the Sprint tower, but looks like none available. I may get a seat pretty high up in the new turn 1 grandstands. Should be a pretty high up view and in line with pit out. Those new seats way up there look pretty nice.

I don't have to fly home till Tuesday, so even if it get's pushed to Monday I'm still good.

I'm not going I like watching it on TV. My coworker and friend has been going every year for 30 years, takes a business trip to FLORIDA as we have a site there and spends a week at the track, company pays for most of it, air, hotel, rental car and some of the food. He's an honest guy and doesn't make the company pay for anything not work related, why risk 40 years with a company over a race. He gets some needed work done and has a little fun.
