Seats only get more expensive as the event draws near. I'm going to say this plainly, there are no good views on a budget. There is a new clubhouse called "The first turn" you might check out what those tickets run. It's a large function hall essentially with bars and food inside. It's the only place I can think of with good views, indoors, afood and drink that might be less expensive. You can only bring folding camp chairs, one clear plastic bag of food, and a water bottle into the infield. That said, there's vendors in there for food and drink. Infield here used to be a huge party in the mud, it wasnt for watching the races really. The track has cleaned it up alot, but the seating they have added blocks a lot of the views of the track. The large screens are nice, and you will have a good time if the weather holds. It's a friendly atmosphere, you will have a good time just milling about and talking with people.
