We have a vacation home in Parker that is right on the water. The race goes right behind our house, straight down to the finish line at the casino. It's off of riverside drive before the Blue Water Casino. You can watch it with us from our place. Need more directions PM me.

There are kinds on places you can watch without having to walk more then 20' from the car. Just head down that goes towards P mountain (not sure of the name, but there will plenty of vehicles headed that way). You'll see lots of cars parked to the right on a plateau that over looks a wash. The cars run down the wash, and you can puul the vehicle right up the edge.
It is a desert raceusually lots of places to park near the track and watch
Like Dennis said above go down Shea road and when you get to where they are near the road...pull off and get close....there are a number of places you can pull off near Shea...
Also, take him down to the BlueWater on Friday when everybody has their stuff setup still clean so you can see it up close and they are selling t-shirts, hats and stuff.
Thanks for all the scoop........
Last time he was down for that race it was still the 500 and that was the first and only time I saw it SNOW at the river. I think that was the late 80's..
Thanks for the Invite RVRGIRL we may take you up on it....
MB you heading out to give JR a hard time and watch superbowl?????

Good advice there. Contingency is always a great way to see all the cars up close and CLEAN as they go through tech...We pulled over near the course behind the pits off Shea Road last year. Cars bombing by at 50 plus. Nice enough spot.
