Shotgun,
Looks like a lot of fun. The wife used to work for a vendor that worked with AAA and we would get free tickets and a suite every year. She quit that job a couple of years back and I miss being a guest at the track. Another friend has MS and never misses a race there. If you go he'll be one of the wheel chair folks sitting at the top in turn 1. He got to go on a ride along last year and said it was the highlight of his life. His son-in-law is a stunt man in the film industry who does a lot of car and boat stunts along with his regular work. They put him in a second car and let the two cars go at it. They got 30 laps flat out and it looked like a blast.
If your wife likes NASCAR I'm sure you must also make it out to Perris from time to time. 3 years ago Kasey Kahne, Jimmie Johnson and Jeff Gordon all showed up there on the Saturday night before California to watch Kahne run a sprint car. I was there with Cory Kruseman's team. Quite a few of the guys like Stewart, Kahne, Edwards and others own sprint car teams. I don't know if they still do, but they used to overlap appearances at California with their teams running at either Perris or Ventura.
