So, what typically is happening out at the tracks on Fridays before a race weekend? I see the HPR calendar has them marked as motorcycle lapping days - sweet! - with the May 6 date being MRA only - sweet! Do MRA riders get any special price on these Friday lapping days?
Second, what's the atmosphere like out there on Fridays after the lapping days? Do people stay overnight and benchrace? Is it a somber atmosphere (I said somber, not sober - though perhaps those are related to some of us). Or are the gates typically unmanned, hence no camping?
I've obviously picked on HPR since that's where most of our racing happens. What about Pueblo? And PPIR?
I'm looking for thoughts, anecdotal or factual, so please, chime in. I am partially trying to get this info into public view for us noobs since some rituals and quirks may not be obvious to a new racer. Thanks!
