As a race car fan, you should try to arrange your travels to include a trip to the Indy Motor Speedway. The museum is great and the tour is also great. Spend the extra money on the tour and do the behind the scenes tour. It is worth the trip.

At Kokomo if you sit in the turn 4 end of the stands be prepared to get hit by dirt clogs, but in my opinion it is the best spot to sit.

It's also closest to the Pork Chop Sandwiches...

A few years back I saw license plates from 26 states at Gas City. Several from Iowa. You will be impressed at the fan support and quality of race cars. Beware, you will want to see the whole series after the first 3 nights.

Got a small group of us coming down from WI for the second half of Sprint Week (Terre Haute through Haubstadt). Plan on getting early to track at haubstadt and going into the pits. Any ideas on what would be one other track to do that at between Lincoln Park and Bloomington? Thanks

If you go to Kokomo, get a pit pass. During hot laps, qualifying or heats, if you stand in the area above turns 1 and 2, you'll get a view that you can not see anywhere else. You'll get pelted relentlessly with dirt balls in that zone, but it's worth it.

Hi, Thanks for all of the advice. Even found out where to eat, guess I'll come home fatter and broke. We're from the SE Corner of the state, between Burlington & Ft. Madison. And to be honest, I'm kinda returning to my roots with the non-wings. Been going to Knoxville over 50 years, they didn't wing'em up till 82 after a pretty bad night,(few years actually). We went to Bloomington and Haubstadt last year. And my 25 year old son hasn't been the same!! Even went off here a month or so ago and left me at home so he could catch the Outlaws at Kokomo, and then a couple non wing shows before he came home. I haven't forgiven him for that yet. Again, thanks for all the help and knowledge, and hope to meet some great fans and have some even better racing.
