Mid Ohio Vintage Grand Prix..?

[Gilles]

I am near Dayton for work and it seems that I will be staying for the weekend, just found out that the Mid Ohio Vintage Grand Prix will be this weekend, therefore… :-)

This is one of the racetracks I always wanted to visit and this seems to be the right time however, but I would like to ask for advise from someone that has attended this event in the past.

* Does the $40 general admission tickets allow you to walk on the paddle..?
I had been very lucky to attend the Monterey Historic Races in Laguna Seca many times, and the coolest thing IMHO is that you can walk among all the race cars being able to admire them and smell them too, (if you know what do I meant)

* Does the $90 Hospitality that includes lunch for Saturday and Sunday worth it?

Hopefully someone that has been there for the Vintage GP can share some light, as I am bringing along a co-worker (a Japanese gear head..), and wanted to know if spending the extra money for the hospitality lunch (above the esses) is worth it or not.

I feel like a little kid waiting for X'mass to arrive...LOL

Thank you in advance!
