this year i had a parking pass so i went to the lot. last year though, i drove around for about 2 hours before i found a spot. we parked near the track at a chinese restarant lot that the guy had just opened up for parking. i saw this year, quite a few people on (i believe its belvedere) holding 30 dollar parking signs for the businesses up and down that street. if i was going just one day, i would have parked there.
