I had heard that there is a possiblity of the pits being in a warehouse adjacent to the arena.

Not sure though so don't take my word for it.

the original poster is right. The traffic on I-10 is horrible so it is best to have a hotel. Same goes for westpark tollway at certain times of day.

A small fact for some of you football fans: katy high school (the state champions for 2008) is located 1/2-1 mile behind the merrell center.

anyways,

should be alot of fun.

See you there!

P.S. yes I am from katy

By the way....

The only teams in the area are 624 and 2276. However, 2276 is significantly farther away than 624.

Two things. First, pits are in the arena. The 1/2 - 1/2 split Dan suggested, machine shop outside on the west loading dock, practice field in the arena. Things will be tighter than Reliant, so be smart about your pit loadout.

Second, if you're planning on taking Beltway 8 from IAH to I-10, it IS a tollway, so bring cash or change. You'll catch 2 toll plazas from I-45 to I-10, totaling $3.00.

Traffic North South using the I-99 Grand Parkway is also much better if you need to quick food or supplies.
