I have been to one race and we made it a weekend event. Saturday they had the garage racers who had a tool box and a friend for a crew which was fun to watch. Latter they had some other small races and we took turns picking drivers and making little bets to make it more interesting. Thes races were very short and I think we purchased a day pass which was pretty cheap. I think different tracks have different events on Saturdays and I think the trucks raced on Saturday night which we did not go to. Take Saturday to go around and check out all the stuff going on all around the outside of the track (free unless you buty stuff). We called it an early night on Saturday and got an early start on Sunday. Just take what you would take to a football game for tailgaiting before and after the race. The reason I say after we at dinner tailgating and let the trafic die down some before we headed back to our room. It was cool because the Skins where playing and the guy beside us had a TV and the game on. Most tracks allow coolers so take a smaller cooler which you can carry to the track (they do not allow bottles). Have fun and let us know how it goes.
