Just take some ear plugs with you. Probably a lot of people do.

I was wondering why those "GOOD SEATS" were still available. I guess they really aren't good seats then.

That OK. I've always wanted to go to one anyhow.

Those are good seats for taking pics. Make sure to buy extra earplugs. Someone always forgets to bring some and spends the night with fingers in their ears.

Earplugs, Tylenol for exhaust fume headache and maybe some Visine for itchy eyes from smoke and exhaust. You will have a good time though!

I don't think this is a dirt track they are on. It is a inside stadium.


Do they sell ear muff type thing there? I'm taking the kids & that may make a great souviner.

Don't forget to dress appropriately for the occasion ?

Ball cap with ripped Truck related t-shirt & blue jeans and western boots.
