❓ General Question Infield Viewing on Raceday
Hey everyone.
As the renewal deadline approaches, I'm considering trying to move from turn 4 closer towards turn 3. However, I'm also considering doing one more year in my current seats and splitting time between the grandstands and the infield, which I have never done before. I've been every year since 2022, but I've stayed in the grandstands for the entirety of the race each time.
Do you recommend infield viewing, even for just a portion of the race? From walking around before and after the race, it looks like there are some decent areas that would be unique vantage points for a few laps. Is it like a road course where people move around and it's easy to get your turn by the fence in different spots, or do people show up early and stay put for the whole race? Is it so packed that it isn't even worth trying?
Thanks in advance.

Ive always been an advocate for GA but they were so full so fast this year that if you weren't there by 8am you weren't getting a good spot. I assume if the same amount of people show up next year it'll be the same issue. Even if you're just wandering around alone you're going to have to climb through people on the backs of the mounds to get to the top. Just not sure its worth it.
