Alright, This girl I worked w/ called me today to tell me she had recieved the tickets she ordered. She got me 2! Section 102 Row 8. Are these seats any good. Not that I care. I'm just happy to be going. Been a race ran for many years and this is my first REAL race. Anybody else going? Doug D

Good news and bad news. The good news is that Dover is a really cool place to watch a race from. The bad news is that like most ovals, the best seats are at the top of the grandstands (sorta like the opposite of being at a baseball game). Since you are only sitting in the 8th row, it may be tough for you to see a lot of the track. You should still have a blast though. You can see a seating chart at doverdowns.com. Judging from that, you are close to the start finish line and should have an excellent view of the pits. -- Gary "Gandolf1" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:MfVQ6.132135$[email hidden]... > Alright, This girl I worked w/ called me today to tell me she had recieved > the tickets she ordered.

Gandolf, the only 2 races I have seen were both at Dover, as gary says you'll miss the cars going by in front of you, only see the roofs, but you will definitely hear them LOL I sat at entrance to turn 1 and went down to the fence a few times to see the cars go by up close, what a rush, till security suggested moving on...You will encounter hellacious traffic getting out, take your time and barbecue or something, it will all be worth it.

Lucky Dog.....Dover is a great place.....Any seat will be better than mine. I got to go there last Spring. The drive from Dover to Baltimore after the race was a total nightmare. The Bay Bridge near Annapolis was the worst traffic I have ever seen....Have fun, it's a great race !!!! Gandolf1 wrote in message ...

>Been a race ran for many years and this is my first REAL race. >Anybody else going? I went to my first Winston Cup race last week, the Coca-Cola 600. The WC atmosphere was awesome, but the BGN race was better... go figure. It's great fun, especially to laugh at all the people that are drunk off their ass near you. :) ----------------------------------------- Dan Belcher Team Racing Unlimited http://simcrash.00game.com
