Last year I showed up to run their Wednesday Fun Nite and they allowed Pontiac Nationals people to camp on the pit side overnite, but you could NOT stay there Thursday. It worked out perfect, I got one extra night of racing in, and I scooted over to Linders Lot Thursday at noon. Im doing the same thing for 2013 without a doubt. The only thing I heard was that they were going to open Linders at 8am Thursday instead of the usual 12 noon. At least that's what I thought I heard over the PA last year. Can anyone else confirm this?

Guess they got tired of cleaning up all the beer cans from Thursday night in Lindners lot.

I'm pretty sure they are only going to let us into Linder lot earlier then Normal (8AM). At the 10 Grand Nationals they let us into the track on Thursday only because they start racing on Friday a lot earlier and need to get everyone pitted and teched in earlier to start racing, so they can finish at a decent hour on Friday night. They don't have that problem at the Pontiac race but it would be nice if they did.

That must be during clean up.
Remember a year couldnt walk through there w/o step'n on cans.
They have to change out the 3-55g trash cans in the pit every am.
