Thanks for info Jerry,is there any road construction on 31 for us coming from the south to be concerned with? (we're pulling a 33'5th wheel)

A little around Westfield, nothing to worry about.

I'm not sure whether all the roads are open, but I always check my route using the Indiana road condition number at 1-800-261-7623. It takes a lot less time to do that than it does to take a detour when you find out that a section of a road is closed.

31 is a mess from 465 to Noblesville. However, as long as you are not in rush hour traffic it shouldn't be too bad. Near Westfield the right lane must exit, there is an electronic sign indicating the exit, just be careful not to get stuck in the exit lane. Also, some of you may come north on 421 but be aware it is closed at state road 32 just north of 465. You can get around the closure of the intersection of 421 and 32 by detouring east a couple of miles, then north until you pass 32, then get back on 421.

The good news is that the racing makes minor traffic issues bearable.

If people are looking for something to do Saturday before the Smackdown finale, the kids at the Kokomo Quarter Midget Club will be racing at noon Saturday. The track is about 10 minutes from Kokomo Speedway at 1198 Hillsdale Drive. Admission is free and concessions are good and cheap!.

Nice of you to let everybody know what's available in Kokomo! Good luck this weekend!

Will be there Tuesday, Jerry.

I'll be there round noon first day ,stop by hotel throw gear in and head to Half Moon for lunch

Thanks for the info Jerry! I am staying at the Holliday Inn by Half Moon so I will stop by there. Jerry any suggestions on cab service? I know that 31 and 465 is a disaster! I am going out of my way to avoid it. Probably use 421.
