Joe,  thanks for the info, sounds like not much has changed since I was 
there last time. Glad to hear other people bring their kids, I was wondering 
if it was a good idea because of the intense heat and they get bored so 
easy. A cooler and liquids are a definite necessity, hopefully we'll be able 
to mooch some shade......BTW, are the pits still closed to spectators 
vehicles? If so looks like we'll be doin lotsa walkin!!
   Lookin forward to speedweek!  Scott in big sky
