Who's going? My buddies and I used to go every year when we were in our 20s, and are reviving the guys weekend this year. Sitting in tower terrace, and staying out by the airport.

Some buddies are camping, so we're thinking of heading toward the track to party there saturday night. Never done that before (we used to always head to broad ripple), but I'm guessing it would be a fun time the night before the race.

Last time I went was 2011 and I got to drive a corvette around the track. Got up to 120 on the front stretch and it was wild. Would love to go back this year but just don't have the time to drive the 6 hours.
