- Seriously! If your wife, husband, son, daughter, or just a good friend came out to support you, bring them in to enjoy the festivities, free food, drinks, and snacks as well!
- It's not a complete celebration without your family & friends that came out to cheer you on and be there at the end when you cross the "Finish Line."

You have three (3) convenient ways to pay:
- Upload the "PARK MOBILE" app to your phone or laptop, and you can pay anytime after 12 midnight on the day of the event. Note: This will save you from standing in line, entering your license plate number, and paying by credit card. These lines can be long at times.
- Use the Park Mobile app on your phone and pay upon arrival while sitting in your cr. You will need to enter your vehicle plate number, and then you will be all set. This way you won't have to stand in the long lines. Note: You will receive a confirmation text on your cell phone confirming that you paid for parking and are all set.
- Upon arrival, take a picture of your license plate, then walk up to one of the kiosks in the parking lot and pay with a credit or debit card. The lines can be long, and it is the least favorite way to pay.

SERIOUSLY! If your wife, husband, son, daughter, or just a good friend came out to support you and cheer you on, bring them with you to the after-party festivities, and they can eat and drink right alongside you.
