Looks like I'm getting tickets to the September race in Loudon NH for my birthday so I'm hoping someone can tell me what to expect at a race.. What kinda stuff is there to do before the race starts, stuff like that..<!--QuoteEnd</div><!--QuoteEEndNever been to Loudon, but I've been to Daytona, Talladega, Charlotte, Michigan, and Indianapolis. The bulk of my span of races stretch from '98 to '04, so I haven't been to a race in awhile, but if nothing has changed...expect this:1) An obnoxiously long walk from your car to the race track.2) Outside the track and before the race: a few race/ride simulators, a possible minor tent theater showcasing race documentaries, a few staged stock cars (not actually race-used) that are used for photo opportunities at $10 a polaroid, nothing short of a mini-mall of perfectly parked NASCAR team merchandise trailers selling wildly priced swag of every driver imaginable (and I mean <i>every</i> driver), a few drivers potentially at the merchandise trailers - if you show up early enough, PEPSI taste tests, free handouts/ads every twenty feet, and a surprising number of booths selling massive Turkey legs. Yes, I said turkey legs. And if this food item isn't normal for you to see people eat in public, I highly suggest you try it. For if nothing else, you get a chance to walk around eating darkened/cooked flesh off a huge bone that looks reminiscent out of a <i>Flintstones</i> cartoon.3) A race with waaaay too little cautions and waaaay too many green flag pit stops.4) An obnoxiously long wait to leave the parking lot.Hope that sums it up for you. Hope you enjoy the race!Go Junior!
