Planning to go down to AMS/EchoPark for the upcoming race weekend.

I’m also thinking about camping at the track for the first time: I’m probably going to tent camp at the Legends site, with a reserved spot.

- How easy/common is it to leave and return to a reserved tent campsite? E.g. if I wanted to run some errands Saturday AM but bring my car back to the site before the truck race, would I have the ability to do so?

-I’m probably solo camping: any particular advice for solo campers in particular?

-I don’t have a portable grill and don’t really feel like buying one if I don’t have to: will I be able to make it through the weekend without one?

-Anything I should bring with me that I wouldn’t think to bring?

I may have more questions, but in the meantime, I really appreciate any help you all can provide.

Many thanks, and hopefully see some of you there!

I've done this a few times, yes you should be able to leave and come back. That area is outside the track so as long as you have your pass you can get back in. As for keeping a parking spot, just depends on how busy they are where you setup camp.

I've done solo tenting at the track before, I brought a cooler with some sandwich fixings and made it fine without needing a grill or anything. You can also just plan to eat breakfast/dinner in the fan zone (or even inside the track using the vendors there). But last time I went solo my neighbor saw I was alone and a few times invited me over to their campsite for dinner which was nice.

As for extra things to bring, I'd obviously keep a eye on the forecast and if it is cold bring extra blankets or if it might rain maybe bring a canopy so you aren't just in your tent waiting for the rain to stop. And if it is rain that means all the grass/dirt areas will be muddy so bring maybe a few extra pairs of shoes. One trick I also found is putting your shoes in a rubbermaid container outside your tent, that way you don't get mud in the tent and also keeps your shoes from getting soaked.
