YUP, it's not at all intuitive. Makes sense after you see it all kinda but from the front it's a POS. and that's not the POS they used to sell it

Ok, glad I wasn't the only one who struggled there. What did you pick for ticket delivery method?

After a bunch of clicks of getting nowhere, I stumbled on a way to put the ticket and parking pass in my apple wallet. (digital delivery) I'd never be able to explain to someone step-by-step on how I got to that point though.

And we Ultimate Fan people have been given no digital option info at all, I rely on just getting an envelope in the mail about a month before the race with tickets and passes. Guess I'll get an email now? Should be fun since I have 2 camping passes, guess I'll need another phone on my dash for the checkers. Guess they'll go with once you're in, screw it, have fun attitude but probably not

I just realized the email confirmation they gave me has links to pull up the tickets or add to wallet. i'm not sure if i should click now or wait till close to race time

I was happily on my way to a concert in town once. Sat having a beer before all relaxed. I’d taken such a relaxed attitude to all this I had forgotten to download the tickets. Wonders of modern technology did it then.

So my advice is do it while queuing to get in. Nothing can go wrong.

They smell like B.O. and make you cry when you cut 'em. How they're likeable is beyond me.

Enjoy!

we had our 1st executive planning meeting for petit this past Sunday. Got a lot accomplished.

Here are the minutes from said productive meeting:
"I'll be picking up the RV at around 6:00am on Tuesday morning."

Then racing came on TV, beers were poured and Salmon went on the smoker.

Tuesday is when I'll be shopping and beginning the packing. But people keep scheduling things with me at work. I guess I have already started some planning here, everytime i'm at the store i look at the beers to decide which ones I may want to bring.

Ya, but nobody ever checks under our RV bed for the stash.

Seriously, the ticket purchase method this year is one royal pain in the butt. I always have a reserved RV spot, two 4 day tickets and a golf cart pass. Been going for 24 years. I decided to just have all of my tickets and passes held at will call. I have to sign a waiver at will call for the golf cart pass anyways. Figured I'd just have all of the tickets in one spot. Nice thing this year is that you can order and pay for the golf cart passes online. Years past, you had to go to will call and order/pay for it there.

Plan to have the RV on the road heading to Road Atlanta by 8:00am on Tuesday. Will be pulling in close to 9:30am. Funny how I mentally do a count down. Now 43 days and counting down before I pull into our RV spot. By 8:00am on Weds, I'll have our EZ-Up set up on the inside of Turns 10 A/B. Great place to watch them coming down the long straight and into the turns.

It is still 43 days away???? that's too much!

[broadrun96]

Yeah, it's barely enough time to prep a recipe and figure out Saturday's food stuff. Considering a shoulder and making pulled pork

And I'm gone for 10 days of that 43.
