Yes 8 A.M both days. But to tell you the truth nothing really starts for preliminary until about 9:30.
I was there last year at 7:45 and hung around till about 9:30 when the track started to crack off.
I wouldn't worry about the parking lot filling up to quick on Friday, I would worry about getting there early for a good parking spot on Saturday though.

this is cheap!!! heeeeeyyyy

[SiNiStEr_S14]

Having the 2 day event at sonoma is new for this year right?

[BigVinnie]

Yes 2 days is new. It use to be one day only. There are more entrys in formula drift this year than there was last year also.

[SiNiStEr_S14]

Aw makes sense... I think it'll be better this way then to combine it all in one long day anyways.

I'll be up there hanging out at the live sockets/247motoring booth. swing by and I'll give you some free schwag.

So i got an email from FD and each ticket wil get you access to both the FD and Indy race. And the prices on there said that 2-day pass (friday, saturday) is $35 and 3-day pass (friday, saturday, sunday) is $69 for grandstand seat $59 for other seating plus a $3.25 fee for purchasing the tickets online.

FD is only friday and saturday. Indy Car Race is all 3 days.

And to get a $7 discount on the tickets type in "FD1" in promotion code section. So that will make each ticket $31.25 for the 2-day pass, havnt checked for the 3-day.

But how come on this flyer it says that tickets are $23 online, and really, on the site the prices is what i listed?

[BigVinnie]

Officially have 21 days left until Round 6!!!

[BigVinnie]

Finally have the schedule of events of both Friday and Saturday.
I apologize for leading people on to think that Fridays schedule started at 8:00AM.
