At the bottom of the roller coaster, turns 3-5 are pretty good and right at the bridge.

If you can get there for the races, the long left-hander heading onto the front straight could be interesting as well. The downhill S-curves heading into that last turn makes for some tight racing, and the left-hander itself is very important due to the straightaway speed - but is also off camber, so there'll likely be some hairy moments there as well.

There are quite a few good spots to watch a race, but I find it's best to keep moving to different spots throughout the day. Anywhere from turns 3-7 is fun. I also like to go to the inside of the rollercoaster behind the cornerworkers. Another nice spot is at the bottom of the roller coaster where you can watch everyone come down the hill, but you're further from the track at that point.

As a general rule of thumb, any place where you can get close to a corner worker's station will offer a good view of the track.

I'll be camping and drinking and showing my as always. There is nothing like racing mountain bikes around the track drunk late at night.
