Get a $15 gift card with any pair of tickets.
Not much but if you didn't have them already it's better than no discount.
Then again with all the ticket sales programs they've had this year perhaps
eBay will be the place to find them as it seems LS can't give them away...

There's a race in Indy this year where they actually know how to get
a crowd in and out of a race track. And the chances of decent weather
are at least as good if not better.
Go fast. Take chances.

Easy to do when the place is built for 400k and they'll be lucky to get
a quarter of that. It's just a gigantic football stadium, for chrissake,
sitting where corn should be growing...

Hah! The weather in the Salinas valley in July is about as predictable
as it gets. Chance of real rain - zero. The heat two years ago was
100-year heat - what are the chances of 100-degree heat in central
Indiana in mid-September? Pretty good. Chance of rain? Even better.
Snow?? Possible, I guess, but probably not quite as good as at Brands in
March. And then there are the tornadoes...
So what's the story on pit and track access for the GP? They usher you
to your seat and you just sit there for three days?
