I bought my tickets for the Ducati Stands at Indy. What can I expect out of the hospitality tent, parking, track lap, etc...Anybody that did it last year...what would you do differently this year?

I think a few people who went wished they would've picked a better parking location last year.

Do differently? Not park next to the ST with the wind sail attached

Hospitality is just like at any other racing event: you have to show proof of ownership (up to date insurance card or registration) and a photo ID to get in. They will provide free bottles of water and maybe something for breakfast or lunch.

The track is providing bike parking on the backstretch as part of the ticket package. Ducati Island parking passes will be distributed by Indy Ducati and you must show proof of ownership and photo ID to get one (see above). This pass will allow you to park right in the middle of all the action on Ducati Island. By the way, the pic above are not Ducati Island parking. They are from the Indy Museum lot.

The track lap is just that, a lap of the track. You show up, present your ticket and off you go.

Last year they handed out the Ducati Island parking passes at the same time as the track's "pit walk" so I missed getting some autographs. Hopefully they won't do that again this year.

Although there is a lot at Ducati Island you really want to get out and explore what else is going on around the track. They turned the garages into a shopping mall and the other manufacturers has their tents and displays a good distance from where Ducati was.

All in all not a bad deal, but some people weren't satisfied with the Mugello grandstand.

I'm worried about watching the race from the Ducati stands as well. I sat across from the stands last year and wished I was on the corner at the end of the front straight (just to the left of where I was sitting). The Ducati Stands have you watching a very small, very slow section of the track.
