Just to add onto this. If its your first time at Haubstadt, make sure to sit as close to one of the corners as possibly, so you can really watch them back it in (even if just for hot laps). I don't think I'd ever sit anywhere else at that place. It quickly became one of my favorite race tracks to attend!

Someone earlier this year suggested Stoll's Country Buffet earlier this year and I was glad I took the suggestion. Big variety of country cooking, all you can eat and I enjoyed basically everything I tried.
Just a couple miles from the track (Haubstadt) just past the 64 interchange.

Totally agree! In fact, Haubstadt was my first Indiana bullring ever & now I'm hooked. Stands are kind of small & close anyway, even at the top you get a great view
I'm jealous.... have fun!
But i got lost in downtown Bloomington trying to find the track, even with Mapquest (no GPS, "modified old school" guy!). Had to ask 4 different locals for directions.... maddening!
