One of the few times I've stuck it out to the bitter end ('like to beat the traffic) was '96
when Papis got his nickname (for the unenlightened, "Mad Max") chasin' the Dyson Riley & Scott. It was pretty awesome watchin' him fly down pit lane at 150 and hopin' the 333 would re-fire (problems with the valve seats the year before year, negating hot re-starts). And of course, being able to see nearly the whole circuit....changed my "life" after being a "grounds keeper" all those years. Knowing what 't'was like watchin' all the available corners ground level during previous camping and driving years (which is a must, of course, for newbies, no doubt) 'found it much better upstairs for spectating (along with cheaper).....
