Camping at a NASCAR event (LVMS) in March
Just checking to see if anyone has done this. It sounds like fun, and since we are only 5 hours from Las Vegas, we are thinking about doing the Nascar weekend in March. Does anyone have experience wit...

We've done this with friends since 1992, doing both Michigan Int'l Speedway races each summer as well as a handful of Brickyard 400 races since the mid-90's. We finally cut down to 1 race at Michigan per summer just this year, but we're into our early 60's now. The reason we don't totally drop attending is because we usually have a great time.
At Michigan we have always camped in the infield. This way we can watch practice, time trials, and the races from my buddy's platform on top of his converted 1974 GMC school bus. Sitting in the stands probably gives a better view, but we like our spot and now there's a big Jumbotron nearby so we can watch replays.
We usually take along old one-speeder bicycles. It's a blast riding around checking out the different campsites. Some sites set up their own full-sized bar. There's usually loud music of various kinds. And generators run quite a bit. I've learned to fall asleep with the hum of the generators. It's worth doing at least once in a lifetime if you enjoy racing.
