Anybody going to the Toyota/Save Mart 350 @ Infineon?

Just bought two grandstand tickets.

My wife and I are going to be in San Jose that week. We will be @ the Roush day @ Frontier Ford June 19th.

We will head up to the wine country Friday AM. Drink wine on Saturday and watch the race on Sunday .

Send me a PM if you want to get together somewhere around San Jose or the wine country. If enough people respond we can organize a dinner or something.

I can't remember did you come to the event at FF last year? So many flipping people I forgot who I met, lol.

The grandstands are good seats with a good view of the track. Have you been to Infineon before?

There are a bunch of us in the area I am sure we can get some stuff planned.

Yeah, I was there. In the back row. Got Jack to sign the car in two places. Never been to Infineon before. We are really looking forward to it. I'll make a note to get in touch with you closer to the date.

D I may roll with you to Infineon that week, haven't been there in a long time and sure missed that race fuel smell. As the time gets closer I will let you know cause I don't know where I will be living, either San Jose or stay in Roseville.

I'm going to go with my son...

[CALROADSTER]

I will not know until it gets a little closer. But getting together would be great

In the grand scheme of things .... I am attempting to plan out a camping trip for that race weekend. Unfortunately finances at this time are hampering my efforts. Goal (that wont be reached) is to get a campsite at Sonoma that weekend next to or near one of my neighbors that has all the immenities that goes every year. Way coool it would be to sit back and watch everyone try to leave...

You do not want to do a one day deal without proper planning as the drive out after the race is horrendous. Talking 2 hours to go a mile... with 30 miles to go. Saw many peoples run out of gas going 1 mph for hours. Plan accordingly and hit me up towards the ordeal for suggestions. D

As D ROUSH has hinted slightly the traffic can be pretty grueling getting in and out of Infineon. They have made improvements to the traffic flow the last several years but its still 100k people hitting the roads. Recently they have added a super modified type race at the end of the Nascar race to keep fans in the seats and from all leaving at once. Get there early if you can to beat some of the masses. The walk from the parking lot area (dirt and gravel) to the grandstands can be a pretty good hoof almost a couple of miles I would guess. Consider taking a free shuttle bus from the parking area to the grandstands if the Mrs isn't into hiking.

The view from anywhere in the grandstands is about the same you can see a good majority of the race course. I have a few pics to wet your appetite until then

It's not so bad when you are on a motorcycle
It is scary riding on the shoulder though

Park as far away from the track as possible and closest to your exit in the direction you will be leaving. The parking lots down below are dirt but Roush safe. Just make sure you park as close to the exit as possible as I spent about an hour waiting to get out of there with yahooos kicking up dust/dirt tying to get to the front. Have a game plan prior to parking. The traffic is unreal.

If I indeed get a camping spot I will let you know. If you park a mile away and make the walk you will be better off in the long run... unless you just arent in a hurry and want to sit in traffic for ever.

Grandstands are probably the best view but bring binoculars for sure, D
