okay - stupid question time...

 

When do the practice runs actually start? Are they all week, or just on Friday before the Qualifying rounds.

 

Planning on going up on Thursday, but on the site all it says is "Rider Confirmation" and "Timed Training"

Anyone know if you can just arrive as a spectator on Saturday and pay to get in or must you buy entry tickets up front?

Exactly, just preorder. What's the issue?

HR, you on a media pass? I should be in the pits with a beer or 2.
