Hmm, good point, I will probably be at the track when the show starts. I only stayed for the first round of qualifying last year because somebody had to go home and feed the dogs.
Last time I took the shuttle, it was free.
I think that's why they use school buses.
But that's part of why I like it. No muss, no fuss, because even if you avoid the traffic heading in when the show is over you still have to fight your way out. Coming from the track, the shuttle makes total sense, especially since the SuperMall is also very close to SR 167 if you need to get north or south quickly.
Too bad they don't have shuttles to the track for races. That would be a good idea. There's plenty of room at the track for people to park but man, the walk to and from your car (I don't always get a media parking pass) is wicked.
