Before it is time for you to gather with your friends, scope out potential places and make sure they will feel inviting while you watch the competition. Look for features such as great tv’s and comfortable seating.

- Similarly, scope out the prices. Don’t go somewhere too upscale for everyone to afford. You will want great drinks for relatively cheap prices. Classy and sophisticated can be nice, but for an evening spent watching races, plenty of drinks and a laid-back atmosphere are more important.
