Hey this is going to be my first time at Red Bud. What do I need to know!!!!!????
I've been to Millville 5+ times, Thunder Valley 3+ times and Ironman last year (which was awesome)...
any tips?
You are obviously versed in attending nationals, but if going for just Saturday, get there early for the morning program when there are less people so you can see different parts of the track. Bring a cooler with wheels that you can strap a couple chairs and a blanket to and set up a spot to watch the motos. And fill with ice and water of course. Have fun and welcome, it’s a great track.
you have to stand by Larocco's leap to get the shear size of it. (I think it was better before they moved it) then go to infield area you can see most of the track there. And you will not forget where you are because 15,000 people will yell "Red Bud" the whole time. embrace it though. My favorite track but also closest to me.
Be prepared to hear RED BUD all weekend long. It gets old, but the race and facility make it worthwhile. You can typically move from one side of the track to the other easily to see most key areas. It really is a great place to watch a National. The only place I have been that I thought was better for watching was Steel City. Have fun!
Lots of walking if you want to see different parts of the track, it’s kinda cut in half with a big hill separating the two sides. Really cool place, though. I liked the hillside facing the rollers and leap, you could see the finish line from there as well.
You will never want to hear someone yell RedBud ever again once the weekend is over.

Every National we go to at some point we walk the entire perimeter of the track (when possible of course) and you CAN do this at RB with the tunnels.
Bring lots of water and a rain coat and boots
It was a decent time someone put a half stick of dynamite in a Porta pot…
As is tradition
Portas and Red Bud is the equivalent of folding tables to Bills fans 😂
No warning, kids nearby. It was truly infantile behavior that could have killed someone. I was 100 yards away and happened to be looking. Dumb ass behavior ‘Merica derp
