I will attempt to answer your questions but most of what I say is going
to be guesses.

1. Start flying at 9:00am
2. My recollection from my previous disastrous visit to West Baden is
that there is a hallway surrounding the atrium where we can set up our
tables and hopefully leave them Saturday night.
3. Spectators are welcome and free as far as I am concerned but I don't
know what the requirements for access to the hotel will be. My GUESS is
that access will not be a problem.
4. I would assume that food is okay. Again this is a guess.

If anyone is REALLY concerned about some aspect of this event they can
call Walt, but I think if you do that you're going to get another set of
guesses. Walt is dealing with a totally new set of people. He's not a
lot more informed about what to expect than I am and all I know is what
he's told me. Just try to be flexible and enjoy flying in an amazing site.
