    Turn 1 is good. Its the high point of the track. You can see most of the track from that viewpoint.

    Also, Turn 19, 15, and 12 are very good spots as well. A lot of crashes in turn 19 for some reason (maybe its the parts unlimited tent?).

    IMO the paddock pass is not worth it. They have a paddock walk, which is mainly a roped off section maybe 30 feet from the garages. Thats pretty cool, but nothing to special. General Admission over Grand Stand Seating. Its a great track for General Admission.

    If you can, gather on top of the mullet about an hour before the race. You can see the entire track and well worth the 20 buck vantage point.

    Tell me more! We were going to get the Paddock Pass just because it allows seating at multiple corners includes the walk, breakfast, lunch and booze.

    The paddock is limited to small sections of space behind the garages which are all gated off. It is more of a viewing the paddock pass than a typical walk around the paddock pass. World Superbike paddock passes at Miller and now Laguna give you much more opportunity to get much more up close and personal to the bikes and riders.

    Wolfeyez you must have gotten lucky with your gig because my stints to the paddock were limited when I was working the corners. The best thing was getting sprayed by the champagne in winners circle. Man Pedrosa is short!!!

    I think I am going this year, going to buy the pre-sale GA tickets for my friend, his kid and myself. Salt Lick was a bit of a drive but they have all you can eat! I was there 2012 for F1 and we ran Ben Spies in a bar downtown.
