Its a flat fairgrounds with paved roads into the track, however parking is grass or gravel. The track grounds are flat. The main grandstand has ramps underneath each end that enter the grandstand halfway down each end. The entire bottom row has wheelchair seating and seats next to that and its a easy hop up one row if needed The bottom is also a main walkway for the grandstand.. Seating is close to the front straight but you will be able to see the whole track. The main restrooms are easy access. wide entry and handicap stalls are provided. There are also two restrooms out on the fairgrounds that one at least is always open. Both are handicap accessable.

Any other help I can give? There is kinda specific handicap parking near the fairground restrooms outside turn two but
the grounds are flat and there is paved roads to the main entrance. also flat.

I'll be on and off till about noon Sunday anything I know I can help with. Just ask.

Granted, I've not been to every track in indiana but have all the sprint tracks except Plymouth, And when it comes to Handicap access. The only other match I've seen is Eldora as far as ADA friendly. Maybe moreso because the concessions are also easy wide flat access.

Lawrenceburg is handicap accessible.
Ramps, etc. places in grandstand for wheelchair positioning. I am sure parking is available, also.

Thanks for the info. My Wife dont use a wheel chair very much but has one if needed. Its been quite sometime since i been to the burg. Wife says we were there once after they re done the track but i dont remember it. i do remember the seat with the back on them. We went to Lincoln Park a couple weeks ago and that worked out good because of the flat concrete behind the grandstands and the ability to put lawn chairs there or between the rows of seats. It was a very short walk to rest rooms as well.

Well they did the restrooms, concessions and grandstand in 2001 but the track and pits, lighting and entry were redone in 09. Also a top ten scoring tower with timing on top

Had to be 2002 on the new grandstands. I raced there in 2001 and it was still the old stands. New track, etc. Opened in June of 2008.
