I think the name you chose was better.

For you two, I can always mix up something a little more appropriate with the name you wanted to use. But then again, the 'bloody Mary' already exists.

Make sure you throw some orange juice pulp in it for "texture"

Does anyone know when the track will open. I would guess that many, like me will want to drive up Thursday and avoid the long drive on Friday. Trying to figure out when we can get in and whether we can spend the night Thursday at the track. The girl at the track could not tell me as of 7-16.

Linders lot is suppose to open at 8am on Thursday. At noon, they are going to start selling weekend credentials and start allowing cars/trailers into the track until 8pm. At that time, they will direct anyone coming after 8pm back to Linders lot where they will stay for the evening until the track starts selling credentials again at 8am on Friday.
Lindners lot is a big field across the main road from the track where they park all the cars and trailers the day(s) before the race to keep everyone from lining up on the road(s) surrounding the track. This lot has hosted many a good drunkfest's and awesome cookouts and gathering on Thursdays. This year they are doing it a little different in years past to speed up the process of getting everyone in the track so it will be interesting to see how those "gathering" go this year. So basically, drive on up on Thursday. If you get there before 8pm, you can pit/park inside the gates of the track. If you get there after 8pm, then you you'll park over in Lindners lot for the night and get in the next morning. Hope this helps

Don't be shy!! We generally have a nice "gathering" around our pit and tend to be one of the last groups to still be up past midnight. Only other group that can pretty much outlast us in the Canadian crew and Feber's bunch!
