For the final night of the 360 nationals and the Capitani Classic on Sunday do they park haulers in the infield? And what are the crowds like on those nights? Plenty of seating? I've been many times for the 410 nationals but not these 2 shows. When I was there earlier this year for the WOO show I was in row 28 and would not have wanted to be a row lower. I could just barely see over the haulers. We typically do both nights of the Pevely Ironman but are considering just Friday at Pevely and then heading up for 360 final and the Capitani. Thanks

We've been doing that same thing for awhile.  The crowds have been been growing lately but seats for Sat and Sun have been no issue.  I believe they do leave the haulers in the infield but we just buy Gen Admin tickets and always find seats up high in our normal section.

Plenty of seats, especially towards turn 4. 360 nats has a bigger crowd but still shouldn't be an issue to get a seat in the higher rows. 

I thought they took the haulers out for the 360 Nationals?

Unless I'm completely losing my mind, the 360 nats leave the haulers in the infield and the Cappy. Someone on here knows the hauler capacity of the infield. 

I'd say the past ten years the crowds have grown for the 360 nights. Thursday Friday used to be pretty slim, sometimes less than a weekly Saturday night, especially Thursday. However the past few years the crowds on average are larger, earlier in the week. IMO the Cappy is the best ticket of the week.

I've harped on this before and without getting too off topic, I still think the ticket prices we pay for the Nationals are dirt cheap, pun intended.

Keep It Real

The Cappy is great, but I still think Wednesday and Thursday of the 410's are the best 2 nights of racing you can see.  Just my opinion though.

And yes, agree 100%---the Nationals tickets are the best value in all of sports, hands down!!

Rows 22 on up are reserved. I just looked and not many seats are sold. You can just about pick your row and section right now. Aisle seats will be harder to get closer to race day, but you won't have any trouble finding a reserved seat. By the way, reserved seats are $5 more. We always get reserved seats so we can show up whenever we want and have great seats. Nine times out of ten, someone's in our seats when we get there so they have to mosve to another seat. I'm guessing the majority of people in the reserved section don't pay to sit there. No one checks tickets, so why not? The bad part is if you get in someone else's seats, you gotta relocate when they get there.

If I'm going to the 360 final or Cappy by myself it's general admission and move around as necessary. That can be an advantage if you pick the wrong group to sit by. 

If I'm with other people, we do reserved seats so some can show up late.

I like the Capitani because we get to see the teams that are trying to improve and prep for the week running against each other. Not all the big dogs will be there so it  lets us see what the future looks like a bit. 

Also a good night to look around and buy that merch you promised to buy before the madness starts.
