one of my best experiences ever at the INDY 500 was sitting in this section………
you can see the pits, the front stretch, the pre-race activities, the people watching, the cars setting up to pass into the turn, the cars passing as the go away from you in the short chute………..
my favorite seats ever……….
parking is tough, try for the infield………
there is just something about watching the 33 fastest cars come down to take the green……oh yeah…
race on

Ahhh yes, E Stand. If you sit in the Penthouse, you’re in “tall cotton”. This is the most coveted stand for the “500″ and the “400″. The cars come right toward you and the racing view is second to none.
If you want to see lots of pit action, be careful. A seat that’s in a high box number will have you so far into Turn 1 that the view angle of Pit Lane is diminished. But don’t let that stop you.
