Wi-Fi at the track?

  1. #1

    Wi-Fi at the track?

    Last year there were a few unsecured wi-fi signals that I could sometimes pick up in the infield areas. I have a paper due and some homework that I'm going to need to finish at the track. Are they still there this year so I could jump on them? or is there no wi-fi access?

    Hoping someone can tell me before I leave to come down tomorrow. it'll make my life a whole lot easier if there is wi-fi available.

    If not, does anyone know where the closest hotspot would be?

    NHMS has Sprint G4 on site as it is a NASCAR track.

    if you can't find a wifi hot spot, close to the media center typically works. I am on line from the track right now

    Bell,

    Worst case, come see me. Assuming I can find a new HTC Evo/Palm/etc. USB (Micro USB type B 5pin Male) cable on the way to the track (plan to hit a sprint store on the way up in a couple hours) I'll be able to get online from my phone to my laptop. We could get yours online the same way, or just throw your paper on a flash drive or something and send it from mine. The big catch is this is all assuming I can find a cable for my phone on the way up.

    Staples usually has them, or Best Buy or Radio Shack.

    Or many of them come with a charger with a cable that's removable from the wall charger.

    I appreciate the help. I really appreciate the offer too dan but I'm hoping I won't have to bother you or your phone.
