    Reviewing the schedule, I think it is prudent that we take advantage of the early opening of the tracks upper Parking Lot#2. So, on Friday, we will launch out an advanced team to spending the night and brave the masses of lot 2.  This will hopefully allow us to move to the padlock and setup as the sunrises.

    The parking area we will target is in the areas that we have been before (behind the Grandstand). We will blog the view in the morning and look to tech soon after.
