        RA has only one entrance for the Fall Festival the main entrance 
        on the East (?) side of the track (near the tech barn).

        Jim and all... Just a wee caveat Re locations at RA. Over the 
        last 2 years the back portion of the track have been closed to 
        spectators... this includes photo journalists with press passes. 
        I couldn't get to turn #1 nor could I get to #3, #6 or #7.

        I could go to Canada corner and shot in Thunder Valley and at  turn 
        #13.

        I don't know if this plan will continue to this year as well (I 
        hope it won't) some of the nicer locations are at the top of 6 and 
        heading into 7 (BTDT).

        I'll talk to judy Cull of the VSCDA to see if it's going to be 
        different this year.
