Just booked flight/hotel/rental car. Never been to Red Bud before. Should I:

*Find a spot on the fence right next to the track to cheer on the Americans and yell obscenities at the Euro's?

*Try to find a high spot where I can see most of the track?

*Stay in the Holeshot Club tent which will have a live TV feed?

*Jump in a lake?

Might be nice to have the TV screen when the leaders battling are on the other side of the track though...

Either way, yeah, i'll probably get on the fence. The problem is that I'm going alone so no one to save my spot if I have to take a piss. Maybe I'll just bring an empty bottle Grinning

Walk the track. Or spend half the day on the East side hill and the rest on the West side facing the leap. That large spectator hill under the big flag is where we usually sit. If you are there early you'll notice all of people start to sit under the tree for shade. Sit lower and you'll be in the shade during the races too.

We always move around, but end up on the hill by the sand rollers. You can see them coming off the bevo jump and hit the rollers, then watch if they do the leap

With all the VIP areas and talk of adding another VIP area, plus all the additional food vendors next to the track viewing areas will be precious. Track side will mean standing all day as they will have 4ft sponsor banners lining every inch of the track. Attending is more about the atmosphere as most will be relegated to watching the race on the big screens on each end of the track. Plenty of hillside areas to view from 300ft away though. Still one of the better venues for spectating regardless.

I have a feeling there won't be much moving around unless you want to miss most of the race trying to make your way through the sea of people.

I remember people saying it would take them hours to go from one end of Budds to the other during the MXoN.

When we go to the national we sit behind the redbud tabletop on the hill. You can see the downhill off the ski jump, the uphill triple, the redbud tabletop, and the launchpad. Plus they put a big TV next to the triple so you can see the rest of the track. Best spot in my opinion.

This is exactly how I justified the extra bones for VIP. So so so thankful they called me to inform me about the Holeshot Club VIP tickets becoming available

I usually travel around the track but basically Pick a hill that views the valley and enjoy.

IMO This MXoN will be packed so find a open spot.

Technically it's North and South Tongue

Got my flights, hotels and rental cars booked. No camping but I’ll be there somewhere in the Union Jack suit or morph suit. I’ll be watching anywhere I can see a section of track

Just hope that Luongo doesn’t have his 6’ high signage rimming the track as he normally does. THese signs only allow you to see the helmets.

Yeah that's how myself and my buddy felt too. We decided if we are going that far and spending that much money anyway we wanted to know we were going to have a decent spot for us and our boys.
