Thanks Chad. I knew the parking would cost but wasn't sure about the rest. I appreciate the information.

If I'm not mistaken, it's gonna cost you $20 a person to park in the infield, unless you have race tickets IN HAND at gate 6....:15:
They figure you're gonna watch the race for $7 from the infield, otherwise.....

Re: The Springfield Weekend Coming Up!
 

Thanks again for the help other members have given on this question. I also made some phone calls and this is how I understand it works. When you to in Gate 6 you pay $20 for an infield pass. This includes $5 for admission to the fair. It does not appear to me that you have to pay for parking in the infield, since the press release says that only those who don't have an infield pass or pit pass (i.e. those with grandstand tickets) have to pay the $7.

To get a pit pass, you go to the pit gate, show them the infield ticket, and pay the difference between the price of that and the price of a pit pass. If you want to go into the grandstand also, it costs an additional $5 if you have a pit pass.

So, it looks to me like you can drive in, park in the infield, go to the pits and then watch the race from the grandstand for $35. This is based upon what I have read in the press release and what I have been told by Track Enterprises.

If this is not correct, please help me out. Thanks.

Re: The Springfield Weekend Coming Up!
 

I would like to hear about the weather from someone close as well

Im in Indy. There are several storm cells in the area. Most have cleared out since I first looked around noon today, but there is another very large cell coming right at Springfield.

show delayed? Is there a concert right after?

Thanks

Apparently there were a few sprinkles an hour or so ago from the first small front to come through, but none on the northwest side. Looks like lots of red and orange just to the west of us now, however. I'll give an update later tonight. And yes, there is a concert; Selena Gomez.

9:00 pm Central - Thunder, lightning, heavy rain. Looks like this system extends all the way through Missouri to Eastern Nebraska. Not good.

Since I can not be at Springfield I will have to look forward to the pictures my childhood neighbor Midwest-Connection will post. I know Rich plans on being there and he takes great photos.

Hope Dean will do live streaming from Springfield and the weather co-operates and everything is a go for the racing action.

Good luck to all the Silver Crown competitors!!!
