2008 Daytona 500 Speedweeks

[Leroy Eckert]

We have gone to Daytona and stayed on the tarmac at Lake Lloyd. You get power
and water and you can see part of the backstretch. Make sure your satellite TV
works.You can go fishing and watch the speedboat and the folks skiing.The venue
around the pits and other areas are really nice. There also is a certain amount
of marketing hype associated with the Daytona 500. It is not worth $3,000 for me
to do it again and it is not worth $1,200 for the 400 race on the 4th of July
either although the fireworks are second to none. Plus it is burning hot. The
best value in NASCAR is in the infield at Talladega and I have been to
California Motor Speedway, Texas, Atlanta and Daytona.
I did sky boxes at Fontana and Texas and that is overrated also. Except for the
noise, and the hubbub, the TV works great.

My husband came home today and said, "Wouldn't it be great to watch
the Daytona 500 from the infield next year?" We researched the
speedway and see that there are 211 sites situated on Lake Llyod
within the infield. My question is.... Has anyone done this or is
planning on 2008? I would like to learn how it is and is it worth the
$3K or should we look for a campground outside and get good seats in
the grandstand?Thanks!
