what's crazy, and you know this from having been, is that the straights are sooo long, that even if it looks like the seats are close to the start/finish, they're really not. as is the case with us.
we can see the flag stand from our seats, but we're not really that close. we sit more in front of all the drivers with good pit position (Danica, TK, WHeldon, Dixon, Marco, Scheckter, Vitor, ect.)
besides, at Indianapolis, unless you're sitting in Stand A Penthouse or Paddock Penthouse, it's hard to really see the start/finish if you're underneath, unless you sit down close to the wall. and even still, the Penthouse is the best view of the yard of bricks.
