There is a field next to the track at Gas City that is used by RV's and campers. No hookups, but when I was there a few years ago, it was free....and the track provided a golf cart to shuttle folks from the camper lot to the track, about a 1/4 mile walk.....

Those of you who are coming and staying for the first week may want to consider this. Stay in Gas City (Super 8, Best Western, Motel 6, or Holiday Inn Express from Friday night through Sunday night. It is an easy 70 or so mile round trip to Kokomo from there and you won't have to pack up and move Sunday morning. Plenty of good places to eat in Gas City as well. Cracker Barrell, Burger King, East of Chicago Pizza, Taste of Texas, and KFC are all at or near the I-69 exit in Gas City. A couple miles west is B&B restaraunt (great food, prices, and the best coffee in Grant County). Also Trejos Gyros is a little further west on 22 in town. And to Dick Monahan, I will be working at the museum every day during sprint week - make sure you stop and say hi!

Is there any good places to pitch a tent at the burg? Figured that would be the cheapest way to be able to get to go to all the races.

I believe so,but PM Dave Rudisell or call track office...812-539-4700....Brucer'

Re: Sprint Week Help Needed/ Lodging
 

There is camping at Gas City at no cost. As someone said, we do not have any hook-ups, but the rest rooms are open and there is running water. There is a campground, Mar-Brook, just a couple of miles east of the track.

Kokomo also allows camping at the track, no hook ups though. Gas city is 20 25 miles from Kokomo, pretty easy drive. Kamp is another 1 hour and 15 minutes west from Kokomo. West Lafayette is probably your best bet for Kamp, which is out in the middle of nowhere. As BrentTfunk says when your at Kamp you have to go towards town just to hunt. Hilarious.Racy track though. Hope this helps.

Re: Sprint Week Help Needed/ Lodging
 

Kamp has plenty of Camping no hook-ups but better get there early for a good creek side spot. Last year ther was 50-60 campers there by 11:00 am the morning of the race. Gas and Groceries are available in Boswell is 2 mile west of the track or Oxford is 7 miles to the east.

This will be my inaugural trip to Speed Week so I'm looking for some advice also. I plan on arriving at Lawrenceburg on Wednesday around noon. Will I have any problems finding a place to park a 38' motorhome. Is the seating general admission (according to the web site it is all general admission). How far of a walk from the camping area to the seats. I'll have my Dad with me and he isn't able to walk very well.

At Lawrenceburg I figure I can get some advice on Gas City and Kokomo.

Thanks for any advice you can give.

Have not been to the new track, but in years past there is plenty RV parking close to the track. ( Couple 100 yards)

Tic's GA.

Re: Sprint Week Help Needed/ Lodging
 

If i remember right there was a lot of camping at the track. Have not been this year that was last year during sprint week.
