How to Throw a Indy 500 party without discounted racing tickets

So you didn't get free or discount Indy 500 tickets? No problem, you can have a cheap and entertaining party with friends while you watch the NASCAR race and enjoy nachos!

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Tortilla Chips
• Salsa
• Guacamole
• Cheese
• Beverages of Choice
• Big Screen TV

1. INVITES: Email your friends to remind them of the date and time of the Indy 500! Ask everyone to bring some food to share with everyone. Tell them how soon before race time they can arrive. Provide directions to your house.

2. NACHOS: Buy a few bags of Tortilla Scooper Chips and a variety of Mild, Medium and Hot salsas (pre-made of course.)
   Also provide guacamole (don't make it, see tips below).
   Lay out the chips on a cookie sheet and shred cheddar cheese on top. Put under the broiler just a few minutes until the cheese melts.
   Set the chips in a bowl next to the salsa, guacamole for dipping.

3. RACE TIME: Arrange couches and chairs so everyone has a good view of the TV. Set out napkins, cups for drinks, small paper plates for food, and garbage bags for discarded trash.

4. OTHER FOOD: As your guests arrive, set out their food and drinks for easy access. Now go watch the Race and have a great time.
