* I read some schedule online that said the races started at 9:45, but it was a typo on their website. We got there at 9:00 but no real flying occurred until 12:15 or so. Wasn't much to do for the three + hour wait. A few booths outside the speedway, but only a few vendors were aircraft related. Getting there early got us a really close parking spot, but the wait until the races started was a little long.
* The hangar passes get you to a fenced off area, about 30-40 yards from the 12-temporary hangars set up in the infield. You can't get anywhere real close to the planes.
* The reserved seats I bought were in the direct sun, so we did what it appeared everyone else did too, and that was go grab some other seats up under the shaded awning. This was a HUGE improvement, temperature-wise! Great view!
* Racing was interesting! It was wild to watch how the direct cross-wind affected the aerial race track. Winds above the track were one speed and direction, but the winds down in the 'bowl' of the track (where the main pylons are located) were different. The pilots looked like they had their hands full.
* Beer was $7 and a hot dog was $9. Still much cheaper than going to a Cowboy game and buying the same items

* Was looking forward to buying some cool t-shirts, but really found nothing other than fairly generic Red Bull shirts. I was thinking it may be like the drag boat races, where all the boat teams sell their individual t-shirts and stuff. No joy.
* There are 12-main planes, and a few guys that are practicing to qualify for upcoming races. We watched all of the teams run their practice runs, from 12:15 until about 3:00. Then we left. The final races of the day weren't supposed to happen until 5:15 or so. On the way home we hit some torrential rainfall, with lightning, around downtown Fort Worth. I am wondering if they even held the 5:15 final races? Radar kind of showed the storms moving toward the Speedway!?
* The online schedule for Sunday shows racing from 12:00 to 2:30. However, if they had to call off this afternoons races, I wonder if they'll run them earlier in the morning?
* For those of you that stayed: did they cancel the afternoon flights due to WX? If so, did they say anything about an altered schedule for Sunday?
Thanks!
