I am hoping to come to sprint week (first visit) and was looking for suggestions on hotels and any "must see" suggestions.
Thanks! |

If you've never been to Indy, make sure you stop by the Speedway, it's one of the most epic things you'll see, even when absolutely nothing is going on.

Consider one or more of our state parks. We have parks in every area of Indiana.

Good point Danny. Especially if you bass or crappie fish.

I've tried two methods, and I'm still not sure which I like best.
Sometimes we have stayed in one motel near the Indy aerodrome. That means we get to unpack once, but the drives to the outlying races are a pain in the nose. Other times we have stayed in motels near the tracks. This means you're back in your room having a beer at an early hour, but it also means you have to pack up and move every day. I think I'll probably sick with the one motel method. |

Some of the teams have shops in the Brownsburg area, just west of Indianapolis; you may get an informal tour or two. Speedweek is one of the best experiences that you'll have....do not miss Kokomo! |

As for attractions, the museum at the speedway is a must see. I have driven by probably a million nice places, I just choose to go to the racetrack and hang out rather then see anything. Also if you've never been to Indiana before, and depending on when and how you are departing, Winchester Speedway has a modified and late model race on Sunday afternoon, July 18. Not sprints, but Winchester is a bad fast track no matter what is racing on it.

The way things are shaping up, you won't get a lot of downtime. North Vernon added a date on an off day for USAC, so add another race.
Also on July 8, Champ Cars at Illiana. The PRA show a few years back was excellent, and I would expect the same. It may be pavement, but the Champ Cars are great to watch. |
