Outside Straightaway, Way up high, about 2/3rds down the pits with a view of both the 1st and 4th turns.

Because we go each year, we often have an extra ticket. (It's usually mine, although I love to go to the race, I also love spending time with the friends we only get to see once a year. ) I don't have the final count for this year, but if there is anyone from Russiaville (or even Kokomo) who has always wanted to go and is willing to get up early (but not as early as usual 'cause the race starts later this year) and ride with a group of perfect strangers... to the Greatest Spectacle in Racing, send me a PM.

Russiaville is actually only like 3-5 miles straight west of Kokomo. The race is a spectacle that everyone should see atleast once in their life.
