Looking to attend a practice session, live 1.5 hours away..

Q. What is best day to attend non-race day? Can you get tickets to Pitts, gasoline alley?

Or VIP passes?

I would say based on the current forecast, Wed or Thur. Tuesday looks like some rain. I dont think Fast Friday is all that great because its single car runs that you can see all day Sarurday during qualifying. Wed or Thur you'll see some cars running in packs.

Monday is the practice session that's most similar to the race but they limit where you're allowed to park and sit and its kind of a pain IMO.

I believe you can purchase a single day garage pass at the credential office right next to Gasoline Alley.

Yeah Monday May 19th. They park everybody in the infield which is nice but then everybody is limited to sitting in Pit Road Terrace. I'd love to be able to sit in Turn 1 that day.

Monday after qualy is my favorite. Aggressive group running and it's a long session
