Would like to make first 3 race’s this month traveling in a Rv. Can you stay at tracks. Can I possibly stay at Gas City and drive car to next two races? Thanks for info.

Yes you can camp at GC, Kokomo is about a 45 minute drive. Lawrenceburg from gas city is about 2 1/2 hours.

I would highly suggest park at Kokomo and drive to Gas City if walking is difficult. Have a great time.

I'm planning a similar trip up from Texas. I have called Kokomo Speedway many times but they do not have voicemail, so I emailed them to ask if I could camp there Friday and Saturday night during Sprint Week. They do offer free camping according to the website, but I'm trying to confirm if it is race day only. I'll let you know if I hear back from them.

Bart, unless things have changed you can camp at Gas City.

Don’t plan on having hook-ups at Lawrenceburg unless you are camping off-site. There might be a water spigot somewhere close but don’t count on it.

If you camp at a Terre Haute, be cautious hooking up to anything there. They do charge for you to camp there as well.

If you get there early enough at Lawrenceburg, you can get power hook up’s. I tried water once but it never worked.

Burg has power and water, But enough water for maybe 20 and power for maybe 50. Sprint week probably gets two hundred campers. However you can camp at Lawrenceburg anytime except first weekend of the month and then you can still camp. Just not inside the fairground fence. Also no fires except them elevated gas things inside fence.

Charles, the not being able to camp inside the fenced area has kept us away for more than a few shows as the restrooms become inaccessible. Even though they could unlock the back door that accesses the motorcycle track and lock up the front door that would lead to the antiques. This small act would certainly cause us to rethink our Saturday racing at each months beginning. Any chance you could bring this to the attention of Dave R or whoever is in charge?
