Getting ready to purchase tickets for Budd's Creek. Someone tell me about the Holeshot Club seating.

I see it is adjacent to the start line and is 125.00 including all day pit pass. Looks like General Adm. is 40.00 and all day pit pass is 50.00 so that is 90.00. Not too much difference. Curious what it is like, what you guys think and can you still roam around some. Just need some info from those who have experienced it at Budd's Creek or any other National.

Thanks, fellas!

Comes with catered food too right?

These clubs all seem to take up the really good spectating spots.

That area is shaded by a bunch of trees, will be nice if it is hot that day.

I did it a couple of years ago and thought it was well worth it. It can get really hot at Budds and a shady spot with a good view can be hard to find. Also, included was catered food(it was really good), drinks all day, program, big screen TV's playing the race live, and VIP only bathrooms.

Is all that in the holeshot club or the VIP section? Big price difference between the two.

Also where is it exactly view wise? Can you see a decent amount of track? And how about the PA. Can you here the PA announcer pretty well from there?

Thanks, guys.

Sorry, it was the VIP tickets that I did. But again, well worth it if you have the extra $75....

If it's the spot I'm thinking of, then it's not a bad area, but there are better spots. Adjacent to the starting line, you can't see all of the track. Maybe 50% at the most in how much track you can view. You can pretty much see from Henry Hill to right after the finish line.

The best place to watch is from the downhill triple in the back area of the track; right where the riders come down into the heart of the valley and hit two tabletops. That is my spot every year and you can see almost everything except for the start and finish line.

If you like watching the start and seeing a photo finish then my spot isn't for you Smile The only other spot I would recommend is right on Henry Hill. It's the most popular spot and you can see everything from there. However there isn't much shade there and you have to fight a massive crowd to get there since it's so popular. Nevertheless Budds is a great spectator friendly track and there are practically great views everywhere.
