One thing I always think is odd.... They showed long lines of cars on the road as the race was underway.

People have different viewpoints, but for me, if I know A) the race begins at 10, B) daylight savings starts today, and C) it's going to be a big crowd with lots of traffic, I'm getting up early to try to get to the track at least an hour before showtime.

If you miss Round 1, you've already missed half the show. There must be a lot of people so disorganized in their thinking that they believe we're going to drive right up to the gate 5 minutes before the race like we're going to the mall.

If you try to get to Gainesville only an hour early, you will miss 1st round. That line of cars easily takes an hour to get through. You have to leave the local hotel when it’s still dark in order to get in at a decent time.

watched one guy's video and he came into track from the north with what seemed like very little traffic. he turned into essentially the north parking area. during the (2) bradenton PRO races, we approached track from the east and turned in at the big helmet entrance on east side,
the traffic jam there was the west side traffic turning into bradenton's west lot.
