While you're panning with that big gun, you're likely to take out anyone in front of you. And knock down that pyramid of beer cans.
Best seat in the house I ever had at the 500 - working as a gopher for a TV station. Was years ago but might still be worth checking into to see if you can get such a gig.
That's true. You may be able to avoid panning, but then the fence will get on the way. However, you don't want to sit on the bleachers if you are planning to take those pictures. You may be dissapointed if where you sit is obstructed by the fence and whatever is close to it. If you sit higher it may work, but I am not sure if you can pick the precise place you will be at.
I found the best place is by turn three, on the grass. You will get a much cleaner photo. Get there by 6:00am to set shop for the 11:00am race. Or if you don't like crowds like me, just go to the practices that start two weeks before the race and you can move around all you want.
