Pitted on the East side was, for me, analogous to finding myself on the wrong side of the Berlin Wall. Old friends you only interact with during the US Nats had no idea if you were in attendance, if so where you were pitted and when they learned you were at the main gate East side, for many that was just a challenge they couldn't or didn't want to undertake. You can take it to the bank, that in the vast majority of cases, whenever you take your time to stop by a racer's pit and comment on their car/performance it means a great deal to that person that has invested all the time and resources to aspire to national-level competition. Thank you!

Dallas, this East side at Indy, is sounding more and more like the North 40 at Bandimere's....off to itself and away from any view of the strip or shutdown area, am I correct or not?
