This will be my first time going to the races, even though I talk about it every year. I was thinking about getting the 2 day general pass for me and my wife. Would I also have to purchase a parking pass for my Blade? Which one's the best? I see that one of the parking passes is already sold out. Any response from the experienced?

If you are an HRCA member they have a parking area for you and a place to keep your extra gear.

I would recommend getting pit passes too. My wife and I go and it is a lot of fun walking around the pit area. You can watch the post race interviews there. My wife got her picture taken with Ben and Eric Bostrom the last time we went '01? I think. Either way, you will have a good time.

what is HRCA?

ok, general passes, pit passes, and parking passes, and a place to stay. Not cheap, is it?

get general admission, park free at Honda Rider's Club, and sit in turn 4 so you can keep an eye on the race on the Sony JumbrTron gigantic closed circuit tv system. The turn 4 seats a something like $5 a day and IMO a bargain.

When you say 'Pit Passes' are you talking about the $20 Paddoc passes or the $70 'Pit Walk' passes? I think the latter are long gone (Big Dog passes sold out, check the website to be sure). Paddock passes are OK, almost required if you want to get across the track without hitting major human gridlock.

HCRA parking is free but even right now, the people who are co-ordignating it are not sure where it's going to be! You might have to call Seca the day of the event and fing out which gate to enter because if you enter the wrong one the CHP traffic we-have-no-sense-of-humor-or-customer-service control people will make like hell.
