[Shirley]

Uh oh...shall we start the bail money drive??? ;)

Yes, Please Do, I would hate to have to call Steve to get me out of Jail. He would probly just leave me there and say "you were Big enough to do the crime, you are big enough to do the time"!!!:roll:

[minabruuke]

I'll drive down to bail you out as long as it is before the race so that I am down there for the race!;)

[Shirley]

Let The Count Down Begin!!!



51 Days


Until the Green Flag Drops at the Daytona 500

[Buddlite]

As seen from previous years Bail $$ is always the perfect gift. Now it seems that for 09 Shirley and Judy will be in town, sooooo the 3 of us together could require additional funds!!!!!

[bigolepig]

HAHAHA!! I can't even imagine the storm that is brewing in Daytona.

[Shirley]

I need to put that on my to-do list before I leave. Stop at the Liquor store.

[Buddlite]

Shirley, trust me Daytona is not lacking for liquor stores!!!!!

[Shirley]

Shirley, trust me Daytona is not lacking for liquor stores!!!!!

That's Good!!! But, what about the Drive down? Then we have the Drive Back. :p

[bigolepig]

Oh good gawd...this just MIGHT require a pig intervention...:p

[Nascarcamping]

Hot Damn, tell me thats not a real drink......

[bigolepig]

Hot Damn, tell me thats not a real drink......

Oh yes my friend, I am afraid it is...Cinnamon Schnapps. Running joke with Shirley, her and my carnie camping neighbor were enjoying it at the fall race at TMS.

Shall we send some to Canada?? Wait...that might not make it through customs...or will it??? Certainly they have it there...

I know nothing

I know nothing

Thank you Gail!!!!

[Shirley]

Since this is the first time that Judy and I have ever been to Daytona. I have a few questions.
***Where is the best place to set that is not so high up and you can still see the race. At TMS you can set somewhere around roll 34 to 40 and still see the hole track. What about Daytona?
***On the Fan-Zone do we need to do it every day or should we just do it like on the Duels or the Trucks? And forget about the Nationwide and Sprint race.
***AT TMS if you have a handicap sticker you can park in the VIP parking for free. What about Daytona?

[Buddlite]

Depends on what you want tp spend but really I would go for either the Sprint or Petty towers, seats are a bit more roomy MORE LEG ROOM, PLUS ARE PADDED. They have a 4 day seat which does for $680.00 per person, covers the Duals on Thursday thru the 500 on Sunday. I have been sitting in Sprint Tower Section G row 38 for quite awhile and love it. Is a bit of a climb up the stairs. Hanicapped can use elevator but is a long wait.Would advise Sprint Tower Sections A thru R, not higher than Row 35. Or Petty Tower Sec X-Z rows 34-40, I sat here for a couple of years and like it also. Another option, good seats not as roomy is Roberts Tower Sections G thru L Rows 32 to 42. Might be a little cheaper. Get nothing in Oldfield, Depalma, Keech, Lockhart or Seagrave towers or Box, actually nothing in a Box. All of above are on front stretch. There is the backstretch but I have never sat there so have no knowledge of it. Far as Fan Zone I always buy the 4 day fan zone with pre race access for $120. each. Is actually cheaper to get the 4 day than just buy for Sat and Sun plus you can play all around for 4 days. If this is your 1st and possibly only visit to the 500 you should do the tower and 4 day Fan Zone with pre race access. Depends on the $$ you have to spend. I have seen some tickets for sale on ebay, but also know that speedway itself has tix for sale. I would call them directly at 1-800-pitshop and see what the best seats are they can get you. I do have the name and # of someone in tix office if you need me to help you.

Thanks Gail, Can you give them a call and PM me and Judy what you find out.

[Buddlite]

Not sure what you would want me to ask them??? You guys have to figure out how much you want to spend on tix 1st, that will dictate what seats you look for. Gave Judy some info maybe she has already spoken with you. Also saw these seats on ebay, sent him a message, they are the hard tickets are are good seats. In case you have no luck with ticket office
