Bay Area has earned a reputation for bum shit on their sidewalks.

They are calling for biblical amounts of excrement.

It's raining dueces on the sidewalks outside

- general admission will NOT sell out, ever. its best to buy at gate, as you save the ridic fees of purchasing online. - to the best of my knowledge, regular pit passes don't really sell out. those are the the approx $20 ticket add ons, you can be in the pits approx 9am-12. - the racer x pit passes (all day, 9am-5pm), which are $100 (but include the general admission ticket, so $60 upgrade), absolutely do sell out. i've never had them sellout on us at ironman in 4yrs if we went to buy them first thing in the...

To my knowledge the general Admission tickets are always available at the gate, but if you want pit passes or VIP tickets you may want to go online. I know at Budds however, they did sell a 3 hr pit pass at Will Call at the track.

haha just caught that! glad it was a good trip! and OP, i echo everything Max D said as well!

That was me asking about Budds. Haha! We had an awesome time! Thank you for the tips and suggestions!

I’ve never been to Ironman, but I took my daughter to Budds this year. Bring snacks and water/Gatorade is a must! A few other things I learned real quick like: (1) Get ready for bathroom breaks. Especially if your making sure he’s hydrated. (2) Even if you get there early to get a good close up spot, chances are you’ll be moving from that spot sooner or later. I found it difficult to keep my daughter occupied in the same spot for very long. They like to be on the move, so enjoy different views of the track. It’s worth...

this will be the 5th year in a row i've taken my two little guys to ironman. they are 6 & 8 now, did it first when they were 2 & 4... someone asked a few weeks ago about taking kids to budd, i gave them my tips, which of course are applicable to all the races https://www.vitalmx.com/forums/Moto-Related,20/Taking-Kids-to-Budds,136… (my comments are in the first reply) also, if you are looking for something to do in indy the day after with a kid that age, and they are curious/like to learn, 100% recommend the indy chidren's museum. its relatively cheap. it's...

Bring toy dirtbikes! My little brother spent the whole time at hangtown building tracks in the dirt. He loved it!

No worries. I also watched rj and dogger at troy. Ironman is so much better

Nah. Plenty of room. You can move all around easy and plenty of shade

Foldable light chairs. Backpack thats a cooler. Great viewing race track

I've never been to Ironman, but here is the obvious: - Bring whatever possible to make your son as comfortable as possible! ie, chairs, ear plugs, smuggle in juice boxes if you have to, etc - If your son has a shitty time, you'll have a shitty time

I have a Yamaha 3000 watt inverter that is rated about 2 decibels below the comparable Honda model. Very quiet. As in you can stand next it and hold a conversation and not even notice it’s running. Used it many times for field camping with no hookups and it’ll purr right along for days without a hiccup.
