Half the fun was just walking around and riding up and down the pits looking at stuff but it's essential to have some type of pit vehicle on hand, that or plan on doing a lot of walking. Keep in mind, the pits are also a mile long! Maybe JMZ can bring his hotrod golf cart next time. :trust: :lol2:

Sorry about the fritzed out sound at 6:10 :scratch:, not sure what that was all about. Regardless, this'll give a good idea what it's like. Unfortunately the GoPro's wide angle lens doesn't show much at the finish line..... especially after YouTube chops the quality to pieces. :argh: The original HD is very sharp.
