My brother and I are driving up to Indy for the road races this weekend. For those who have attended races there on the road course, where would you say is the best grandstand seating if you want to see some of the action in the turns? And is it worth it to pony up the $145/165 for the covered Penthouse sections? The high temps this weekend are supposed to be around 80 degrees and rain chances low to moderate. Thanks for any info!

I go there routinely and I like the seats in between turns 3 and 4 on the oval (I believe that’s the north shoot). There are two rows of seats way up top that are separate from the rest of the stands. I get those for the May race. This is my first time going in August and I paid extra for the Penthouse suites. I want the shade and I did research and by all accounts, those seats are spectacular even for the road course. I guess you can see over a lot of the Terrace and see the backstretch even. I’ll be in Penthouse B almost all the way up. If you see a guy wearing a 100th Indy 500 or a CART shirt, then you found me!!

Thanks, I was looking at Penthouse E seating because I thought it looked like you would be better able to see the cars on turns 12,13, and 14. May I ask why you went for Penthouse B? It does look like you'd get a better view of the front straight and pit areas from the B section.

I must have completely missed that when I was looking or thought they weren’t available. If you can get decently high enough, I would definitely go with that.

I'll be wearing a dark blue polo shirt. I'll look for you.
