I'm thinking about heading down to the Roar this year with my son. While I've been to the race, I've never been to the roar. Any advice/tips/suggestions? It's about a 2 hour drive, so we'd probably leave early Saturday morning and plan on a long single day trip.

TIA

Which day is better for a one day trip? Saturday or Sunday?

Good question. I'm hoping for some pointers from the collective!

Looks like Sat includes a night practice.

Like Spitsix shows, Saturday has a few more TUDOR sessions including the night practice. If you have never seen the night-time racing it is really neat.

I will be there Sunday doing some corner working.

Thanks for the schedule post. Night practice on Saturday would be cool. Is there infield parking during the Roar?

David Wallens - You mentioned the possibility of lunch and possible garage tour. Any updates?
