What happens here

The tour shifts to the 'apartment complex' which served as living quarters for concession workers during race weeks. Ronnie describes how workers would stay here for up to two weeks, getting all the comforts of home. He also points out the gas building, where cars were fueled, and notes that it will be preserved. The group discusses the older press box, which had water damage from a hurricane in 2008 or 2009.

Goal: Explore the living quarters and infrastructure for concession workers and race operations.
