Fuel up on Hawaiian-style noodles from Island Noodles, turkey legs and corn dogs from Juicy's, or burgers and fries from The Orange Place. If you're looking for a lunch to match the caliber of the cars, order a lobster roll from Wicked Mail Lobster, and keep things rolling with sweet snacks from the Mini Donut Trolley. Tickets for the auction are available at a discounted price online.
