The yellow shirts are pretty cool about it because hardly anybody goes to the race and that section is not sold for that race. Most people don't even know about it. Plus most race fans don't want to sit on the main straight for the GP. The PAGODA race ticket was for Saturday only at just over $200. I usually buy a penthouse ticket at $85 to have access to the Old PRESS PENTHOUSE section. I just bought it to see and go in the PAGODA. That's pretty much off limits for most. I probably won't even watch the race from there unless there is some outside access. My first Indy 500 was in 1979.

PADDOCK PRESS PENTHOUSE 2016

Ever stay here? We had regional car shows there until they tore it down.

I was there as a guest of Monroe in 1978 in the Unser dynasty and sat in a Tenneco suite back in the early 80's. It is now known as Fuzzy's Turn 2 suites. I have never sat on a bench or in the fancy suites at IMS except during pit crew competitions and qualifying. I was inside the Fuzzy's suite in the Pagoda during qualifying last year and in 2011. The suite last year was the size of most houses.

This is me taken in the tower terrace seating that you might be in.

I used to do those deals at 24 hour races and just sleep on the suite. Most of the time they will bring you food through the night and breakfast. Camping is more fun...by the time you bought passes and food on top of seats, it was almost free to drink.

VividSeats.com
Section: PAGODA
Row: Shared SUITE
Notes: Individual ticket in a shared suite. Includes food and alcoholic beverages.
Price: $189.00 each
If you get pit passes for race day, I'll be pissed.

I 'll look forward to seeing pictures. Ya, I really don't like Danica.

I like to party with 150K of my closets friends for a few hours, not sit in the stands with a sore neck. A suite at Indy is a interesting for the GP. I haven't heard back on our plans, all I know is we have one. I will look forward to your review of food and booze for future reference. We have 10" X 40" row of tents with a great view of the race just feet away for $25. We bring countless coolers of booze and food and even have a gal who is in charge of re"coop"ing some of the investment for the following day's hangover party.

Honestly I doubt I'll ever tire of looking at and flirting with the 20 to
30 somethings, cooking breakfast for the crew, catching a quick nap, and then 4+ hours of solid partying and fun, (oh, and there is a race going on too). I like to set up where I can see the cars come out of turn 2, down the straight, and midway through turn 3.
When I can no longer have fun with the masses, I may try one of the new stadium chairs they installed... Who am I kidding, **** that, I'll just sit at home and watch it on TV like everyone else and fall asleep in my recliner.

I'll load up the tent, cooler and the BBQ and wait outside the gate for the horn to blow at 6AM on Sat morning. For the GP you never know where you will be parked but you can go anywhere. for the 500 i'm always with 20 feet of previous years. Having people who are good friends/ bosses of the yellow shirts helps.

I was looking for my Indy 500 pics but can't lay my hand on them and too lazy yo look. I did find some I took when I drove on the track back in mid 2000's

cooper barrett - No pit passes but I sponsor a lap for the Indy GP (lap #3) so I get a Bronze Badge and a pre-RACE DAY COLD Pass for both the Indy GP and the "500". The photo's are great. I see that you love the place! It's AWESOME being there! As you probably know the PADDOCK PRESS PENTHOUSE has only two rows and is North of the Start/Finish. Have you ever been there? They still had a old telephone from the 50's on the wall in 2016 but it wasn't there last year. The electrical outlets still work so you can charge your phone. The yellow shirts will say its off limits but if your cool to them they have let me sit there two year for the GP now. The photo's of the girls in the infield are the best! Matheus Leist #4 A.J. FOYT RACING was P1 in morning practice today!

Day before (qualifying: sure they are $175 and a perk to lap sponsors, both races? maybe.) I don't keep track. I know wall sponsors and track sponsors negotiate the passes they receive. Fuzzy has a great deal and there are some SILVER badges for those who know how to behave in the garages during a race. I get HOT garage and Cold pit passes the old fashioned way, I beg for them.

The photo's are great. I have hundreds more... I see that you love the place! It's AWESOME being there! As you probably know the PADDOCK PRESS PENTHOUSE has only two rows and is North of the Start/Finish. I posted a picture of it after the last redo. (I just found 10 CD's full of pics.) Have you ever been there? I have no desire to go into any of the stands unless to take pictures. They still had a old telephone from the 50's on the wall in 2016 but it wasn't there last year. The electrical outlets still work so you can charge your phone.

This was taken after doing a IDE ride along in 2012. It was a Christmas present and she has since bought me one for the road course. It was ****ing awesome even compares to the oval.
I am hoping one day before I can't pass the blood pressure check, my SO buys me the "200MPH Experience" run. And hopefully again with Andretti before he's to old to go that fast.
I have never met anyone who has either driven the car nor quacked up $3K+ for the 200MPH club.
