Wondering what most people are doing for the race? Going all day every day? What are the "not to be missed" parts of the weekend? First timer! Thanks.

For during the 24: start, dusk, dawn, finish. Depending on how the race is going I usually stay until 12-1 am.

Friday I'd definitely watch the Continental Tire race at 1:45 PM and the rest of the time as much practice, paddock and loud noises as you can handle.

A note to all, BRING HEARING PROTECTION, you will be glad you did, especially if you have anything custom. Of course for a few bucks you can buy plugs at the track also.

Pretty sure they will give out ear plugs. They did at Petit Le Mans with the Ford Performance goodie bags.
