As it stands now, I’m looking towards Saturday night at the Burg The last time I was there, we rolled in with a VW midget to race on the old track. With at least a little uncertainty about the upcoming season, I figured we should try to get down there in case the worst case scenario plays out. I’m optimistic that won’t happen but. So gathering a little info for the trip. I was wondering what time you can get set up for some tailgating. Also recommended lodging nearby, in a direction back towards the northwest. Has anyone stayed at the casino hotel? Thanks for any input. As of now it looks all systems are go

Can't help you with accommodations but they may have the pit gate open at three. if that's the tailgating your talking about (Back Straight)
. As far as on the fairgrounds or behind the fairgrounds. Anytime.

Im also worried about worst case. Then again, Maybe there's someone who can get it, Get a schedule put together and get all the equipment and staffing needed by spring. We'll see.

Weather your a fan or not, Im going to go send em out with a bang. Hope the racers do as well. See you there!

I plan on being there for the simple fact that this has been an epic season for the USAC Sprint Division.

All my history books and news clippings have always made Me wish I were there to witness. This season ranks up there with the Golden Era of Sprint racing and I don’t want to miss out on my chance to witness it unfold.

Justin, Brady, Jake, Emerson, C.J., Robert, Kyle, Logan, Daison, Carson, come on, the talent is bursting at the seams!

We have stayed at the Quality Inn & Suites and the Baymont just North of the track. Both are OK. Don't know about the Casino.

Get there early enough and you can park under the Pavilion that is next to the locker room.

You can go in through the pit entrance any time and put blankets down. It is quite a hike to the front stretch.

Tentatively, we are hoping to be at Lawrenceburg Saturday night. So, you can mark seats ahead of the gates opening, much like at Tri-State? Given the forecasted weather, that is certainly something I’d prefer to do as opposed to having to be there when the gates open.

I am very tempted with the idea of heading up this weekend. . . but the timing is bad for me. I could do it without accommodations, too. . . fly up to Cincinnati, shoot the race, head back to the airport and edit until the return flight leaves. . . . nah. . .

I once slept in the tree in front of the casino. I wouldn't recommend it for comfort but the pricing and location was great!
