So i'm thinking about going to Bank Of America 500 in Oct. I have never been to a race here and was wondering what yall's opinion on good seats are?
Don't waste your time and money going to charlotte. That's just my opinion. To me there is no good seats. Your either down low and see them come out of the corner and blink and they are gone or your high and all you see is little specks on the track pretty much. Basically youll just watch the big screen the whole race and its cheaper to do that at home.
Beer is cheaper at home too.
I won't even do that at charlotte anymore. How ever I'd never been to the Bristol race and always wanted to go and I got a chance to last year w/ free tickets and a free camping spot. Pulled up there and camped in the dragstrip pitts. was there three days and the only thing that sucked about the whole weekend was the races.That is why I only go to the race when I get free tickets.

Sounds like the OP is interested in seeing the race that's why I posted what I did. If he wants to see the race he needs to set in his living room. If he wants to go to a drunk fest and get smashed by all means go. But might as well set on the back stretch in the cheap seats that's where the party is. One time I sat on the back stretch and had to keep passing a joint down the line throughout the race. I think everyone took a toke but me as far as I could see.I somewhat disagree. I wont spend money on tickets anymore because of where the sport has gone but there are seats that give you good views of the whole track. I think the long races are boring since repaving though.
& if you plan it right you can take in way more beer then you need. Last years race between 4 of us we took in 4 steaks, 6 chicken breasts, 12 burgers w/ condiments, 8 dogs, & 48 cans.
Depends what your goin for: to party- cheap low level front stretch or infield ; to watch race- under the awning, entrance/exit of pit road.
