Hey everyone. This year I am planning to go to Daytona supercross. My grandma lives literally 15 min from the speedway.So I have a couple of questions for those who have been.
1. I am looking for pit passes. I am not sure how to go about this. I know it is not a Feld Event so I am in the dark on getting passes. I thought about doing the BTO Sports VIP but I cannot imagine paying 750 Per person. 3 of us are Going (My Fiancé, 2 year old which I imagine he will be free, and myself).
2. How is Bike week in Daytona? My grandma says it is hit and miss and it all depends on the weather. She said she usually stays in spruce creek community and stays away from some spots that week. We are leaving Daytona by the 9th or 10th so I figure we are just catching the beginning of Bike week.
3. When is a good time to go to Daytona Supercross? I am again use to feld where we go and get our passes in the morning and hang out all day.
Thanks for all the info in advanced

I've never done any of the other bike week stuff beyond what's happening at the speedway.
The Shop
The past few years or so they moved it to the first weekend of bike week which really throws a buzz kill on the event for me because my buddies want to go for the craziness and street bike crap while all I want to see is the SX race and check out the vendors and new bikes. Most of the vendors are there but many show up later in the week when it starts getting busier. Main street is still main street but nothing like the last week. Therefore, my bros want to wait until weekend # 2 and I end up doing a one day trip up and back on race day then going back the next weekend with them for the craziness or just not going back at all.
All in all, if you are just going for SX and getting the hell outta there the change to the first weekend is a plus. Hotels are cheaper and the crowds/traffic aren't too bad.
If you want the full bike week experience, you'll need to wait around for the 2nd weekend.
I've going almost every year for the the past 20 or so years.

Stay for the Amateur races, they are some great races, and the track is great. My son Matthew and I will be racing, haven't missed a year yet.
As for Bike Week, your in Daytona, and your a motorcycle couple, you have to experience it! Go to main st, and walk up and down and see all the sights at least once. You have seen nothing like it before.
Two of my close friends live out in the subdivisions right next to Spruce Creek, I know the area well. Your an easy 10 min drive one exit up the highway to get back to the speedway.
