There's a lot to like about Bandimere: proximity to the metro area (& Morrison), Interstate access, scenery, downhill stage lanes, Bandimere family friendliness, basic cleanliness

That said, the elevation, the north 40 pit and filthy crushed asphalt, ever changing weather (for dialing), rocks flying out of burnout box hitting people and cars under the tower are definitely turnoffs

We have always pitted in the north 40 even when arriving a day early, it seems local Super racers stay over from the week before and fill the few hard surfaced areas, as well as a few local class racers

As far as the "mile away" problem of pitting, I have found that if you can make the crest you can coast to lanes.....that far away does make you feel isolated from the event however
