I think the best watching is at the tech line in the first couple of days. Then there is the starting line for some great views. It's always cool to watch cars come through at the 4 mile, you can see the speed and watch the parachutes deploy. In the pits are lots of stories and most people are more than happy to talk to ya. Good luck and have fun. Oh and something else important is to have a way to get around because everything is so spread out. Like 3 miles from the pits to the starting line. A car is fine for this.
