I always tell people that if you're going someplace you've never been to take a day on one side or the other to do something away from the track. Just as an example, if you have never been to Gainesville and were going for the race, go in a day early and go to Don Garlits Museum. You won't be sorry.
Every place we race have cool things to see in the community, and if all you see is the hotel and the racetrack I think you are missing an opportunity.
My opinion,
