Any other Tenthers planning on going to this year's 500?

I will be there. Got tickets for South West Vista (turn one).

Lanky Turtle · 25 Jan 2016, 04:06 (Ref:3607795)

I'll be there, my first Indy 500! Been watching on tv since the early 80's. Got tickets in stand A, right where the pitwall ends.

My first Indy 500 too. My seat's in the Paddock, box 38, opposite the pits.

BudLightJaguar · 26 Jan 2016, 09:33 (Ref:3608057)

I'll be at SW Vista.

HJJ · 26 Jan 2016, 13:46 (Ref:3608114)

FTG. (Just for old times sake). There should be 50 cars trying to make the race and not "manufactured" drama on bump day.

Indeed. That event is proving to be a great, recent addition to the schedule. Kudos to IndyCar for having introduced another great event to the Month Of May. It's only the 3rd running this year, yet it already feels like an instant classic.

Good to see. Figured he'd get in the field one way or another.

BTW have you received your tickets yet? March is done with and mine still haven't shown up.

No I haven't. I was going to leave it until this weekend and if it hasn't arrived I'm going to e-mail them on Monday. Otherwise, flights and hotel booked.

I'll probably call the track in a day or two to make sure. They said they would mail out in early March. I get so much wrong mail from our postman, I'm worried I'll get to the track and find my next door neighbor in my seats

Nope. The order status on my IMS profile shows "packaged".

Mine also says packaged.

There is disagreement over the use of "Domed Skids" on Super Speedways, with the 500 on the horizon.

BudLightJaguar · 8 Apr 2016, 04:03 (Ref:3631109)

No tickets yet. Instead of that, they made a Youtube clip https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4M6J...anapolis%20500

And the message clearly is...."No, we haven't mailed your tickets!"
