Taken Saturday after the track was cleared around 4:30pm.

Video 1 of 2. This camera was mounted on top of my topcase facing backwards. I'll post the other video from my helmet camera soon.

I'm sure there will be a lot other videos out there, pretty much everyone running the lap had a camera.

There's been all sorts of conflicting information on the speeds for the parade lap. Care to share speeds/locations?

During registration they handed us a card with instructions. I'll look for it and post those later. Basically no passing, no recklessness, no lagging, etc.

As for the speeds, everyone started out fairly slow and then we all picked up speed. Nothing excessive. I doubt anyone exceeded 100mph on the back straight. Other than that, I would say 40-60mph.

There was some passing, nothing reckless or dangerous though. At least with my group there was no squidding.
 
Is it extra to ride the track?

The Parade lap option came with a Guest or VIP access pass. Which can be obtained with some ticket packages, or though industry sources.

I do not believe it was an "extra" that could be purchased.
Same as a Paddock pass.
 
There were some track packages that could be purchased. If you had premium seating it was free.

NSA, this post is just for you!
 
Here is the second video...I know, camera is aimed too high.
