I tried to focus on the fact that our assigned pit was easily accessed from the Road Course, on level ground (important for a manual shift car because at some point you WILL be underneath) and well drained (never got muddy from the several showers during the week) but I had a difficult time supplanting the overwhelming "Red-headed Step Child" feelings.

Dallas your car is so cool it should have some sort of preferred parking. There cant be many of those things still in existence. The fans would love seeing your car up close and personal.
I am used to being pitted in usually the worst pit area. I arrive late so I just make the best of it. At Gainesville I actually asked to be parked at the road course. My wife likes it back there. Its quiet and nice grass. I have had the best luck at Gainesville when I park back there. The gate trolls thought I was crazy when I told them I wanted to park back there. They wouldn't even escort me back there to show me where to park just pointed and said help yourself
