    USA Nationals Cedar Lake Question

    Will be marking this one off my bucket list this year. Wondering about seating, best spots? Advance tickets? Inside secrets? Things to do at track? Just any info a first timer needs to know. Thanks. Looking forward to it.

    Lots of cool people down in pits. Decent amount of seating on that side too. Lots of tailgating. Some guys bought reserve seating on pit side. I would definitely do that if you bring a few people.

      Great track. Best seats (imo) are on the backstretch, lots of camping area, showers at the track, bus shuttle to the river tube float, New Richmond area has lots to offer, 5-8 miles away, reserve seating gets bought up fast and blankets get put down very early. They offer breakfast at the track on Fri, & Sat. morn. First went to this track 10 years ago and been back every year since. Good luck

        Reserved seating is a good idea. Probably more good seats available on the back stretch. Great seats back there but you do have the sun in your eyes early in the evening. I heard they are making more camping spots but I would reserve one for sure. Great track. Great atmosphere. Plenty to do, golf, tube, tail gate, wander the pits. Not to be missed.

          Definitely get Reserved Seats sooner than later. We sit in Section A on the Frontstretch and love the view of watching them fly into Turn 1. If its a warm weekend, you will sit in the sun on the backstretch if that matters.

              I always park on backstretch side. You can usually get spot right by entrance gate,and still be close to pit gate after races.

                  Backstretch seating

                  I sat in the backstretch grandstands last year and as long as you are up high you can see the entire track. I would highly recommend reserving seats early. I wound up going at the last minute and just about every seat was taken, but was lucky to get one on second section from the north side fourth row from top. Seats are going fast on the top rows. How are the camping spots reserved there? It looked like first come first serve as to where you parked your camper. They were allover the place back there.

                    I camp on the backstretch every year, get there early Thurs. pull into my normal spot, short time later man on golf cart pulls up and issues me my camping permit and things fill up around me. Pretty much the same people every year in my area, Great weekend!

                        And if you are a bloomer fan you are always guaranteed to see him race the feature! He gets the double secret "bloomer provisional" no matter what!
