So has a meeting place to enjoy the race been selected. If not, can I throw out a suggestion? The lawn in front of the St Clair Inn
Ian and I have viewed the race there for several years now. It's worked great, you can bring lawn chairs or a blanket and sit on the lawn or boardwalk. You can order drinks from waitresses or the bar, (I even smuggle in a few of my own). Usually between the second and third race we eat lunch in their air conditioned restaurant, and it's nice to have access to flushing toilets
When going to the hotel, you don't have to go through the security fencing where they look through everything you are bringing in. I know alcohol is NOT allowed in the park, I also think that coolers, and outside food are not allowed as well. So if you view from the park, you buy drinks and food from the truck vendors, and use the outhouses. Even though we spend most of the time at the hotel, we still visit the pits and the vendor area before and during the break, so this is the best of both
If you want to watch from the hotel lawn, enter through the hotel lobby and go towards the downstairs bar and out to the patio. We will be on the right side (looking at the lake) at the edge of the lawn and boardwalk. We will have 2 red, white, and blue, PatriYachtic folding chairs
atriot: set up so you should see us.
So if this sounds like a good idea let me know, and we will look for you:cheers2:
