Use to live in Terre Haute In. and want to do Sprint week this year on my motorcycle. The question is, Do these tracks have bike parking or do I just find a spot like everybody else and hope my kickstand doesn't dig into the dirt.

Thanks

Gas City has bike parking right up next to the fence near the pit entrance and provides Stand Plates. LBurg most bikes park up near the main entrance its paved and in the shade from about 4pm on. The rest Im unsure of. Might be wise to stick a flattened can or something in the bags to set the stand on.

You drink a beer crush the can and put your kickstand on it

Been doing that for years, Aero! Parking wouldn't even enter my mind.

I think Putnamville lets you park on the hill by the grandstands either on concrete or gravel solid
as for Terre Haute there is lots of area outside the main grandstands for bikes

Bloomington lets us park right by the ticket booth. Makes it nice for me with work and 200+ miles to get there. I ride to all the sprint week shows and have never found an anti motorcycle track. Gas City and Anderson both have nice parking for the scooters. Just don't park in front of the gate at Gas City you will see what I mean.

Never had a sinking kickstand problem.I never park next to any racetrack,usually a few hundred feet away,lotsa less dust

Thanks fellas... It will be good to get back home for some real racing.
My home track is Wilmot Raceway in wisc. and I so badly want to take a pair of bolt cutters and cut all the wing posts off the cars and see who can really drive
