Race of Champions--Spectating

I plan to go to the October 4 and 5th Race of Champions
in Kittanning, Pennsylvania as a spectator and eager
prospective buyer of wares at the accompanying trade show.

The procedure for acquiring tickets is rather baroque.
You have to call the Armstrong County Tourist Bureau
at 1-412-548-3226 from Monday through Friday before 4:30
p.m.

When you get hold of them on the phone, you can't just buy
a ticket. They have no facilities for taking credit card
payments. Instead, they snail-mail you a ticket ordering form.
You send that back to them with your check.

Then, and only then, when they mail you your tickets do they
also mail you information about the area including a list of
local lodging accommodations so that you can make your
reservations to ensure that you have a place to sleep. I
asked that this information be mailed out *with* the
ticket application but was turned down.

I just made the phone call this morning. We'll see how long
it takes to turn around the tickets and the lodging
information.

By the way, the lady was very pleasant. She said not
to worry, that there were lots of tickets left.
