Newbie says HI and has a question

Is there a place for newbie questions? I've got some questions about tickets/seating at Texas Motor Speedway.

Thanks.

Marla

Re: Newbie says HI and has a question

Welcome to the forum. Just ask what you want to know about Texas. I'm sure somebody can help. I've been there a couple of times myself, so I might be able to answer your questions.

Re: Newbie says HI and has a question

Okay, thanks. I've never been to a major race track and DH is finally showing some interest, so I would like to jump on it, but I have no idea what's good seating. I know that's a subjective thing, but am wondering, in general, whether it's better to be in the upper or lower sections, and why would someone like either particular view?

Thanks.

Thanks.
Both time's I've been, we've sat in Section 119 (green seats) at the top of that section. Those are bench seats, and we could see every part of the track except coming out of Turn 2 in the backstretch, and going into Turn 3 of the backstretch. You're sitting really close to the person next to you, like elbow to elbow, with little room under your seat to put stuff, like coolers.

Right behind us were the seats in the blue area, which are single seats, not bench seats, and are higher up. Those seats can see the whole track, and spaced apart enough where you aren't elbow to elbow, and have more room to put your cooler or bags. When we go back, we're moving up to those seats. You don't have to go up to high in those seats, though, or you lose the feel of the cars going by. They're probably more expensive, but I think they're worth the price.

We also love sitting where we do, at the end of pit lane. From there you have a great view of the start/finish line, pit road, pit road exit, cars coming out of Turn 4 and going into Turn 1. You're also sitting right in front of one of the JumboTrons.

I gave a link to the seating chart to show where we sat, with a little red arrow. You'll get a better idea what I'm talking about, with it.

Hope this helps.
