Coolers allowed & do they charge to park?

Re: Free Racing
 

Troublemaker :D

How about watermelon, probably not.

Re: Free Racing
 

Can you just show up and walk in or do you have to post your stuff online?

Re: Free Racing
 

Not sure about coolers but every time i've been there for the last 10-15 years they have charged to park. Dont know if thats still true but I bet it is

Re: Free Racing
 

They did not charge to park at the NASCAR truck race this past Friday night. Nor have they been charging to park at their recent sprint / midget car events or their CRA late model events. I've not paid to park at an oval race event since the Speedfest races.

Re: Free Racing
 

Per IRP website;

Q: Are coolers allowed at Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park?
A: For all oval events and the Dodge//SRT NHRA U.S. Nationals, coolers are allowed in the grandstands. They must be no bigger than 14x14x14. For all events at Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park, no glass containers or alcohol will be allowed – and coolers & bags are subject to search


Q: How much is parking at Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park?
A: Parking prices vary per event. For many oval events, there is free parking available. For the Dodge//SRT NHRA U.S. Nationals, parking is $10 per day.

Great, its been awhile since I have been there.

Re: Free Racing
 

Will general admission seating be in the bleachers or should I bring a lawn chair?

There are plenty of seats
If you want to sit on the hillside in turn 1 bring a lawn chsir

How’s weather up there?

80 degrees, nice breeze, partly cloudy - let's go racing!

Re: Free Racing
 

I didn't use the freebie, as I went to the pits, but would like to thank Bald Spot Sports and the raceway for the kind gesture. Thank you! :8:

Re: Free Racing
 

Any results?

Re: Free Racing
 

Roahrig took the sprint car main.
Larson won the midgets by a mile.

Good racing all around, except the 1st place contest in midgets.

Re: Free Racing
 

I had a great time! I LOVE sprints and midgets on asphalt. Dirt is great, too - but the pavement really does it for me.

Roarhig was fast qualifier, I think, and came from 10th spot for the win. He made a last lap pass in turns 3-4 to take the lead over Billy Wease. He also had a heck of a time working his way past Kody Swanson. I was afraid he'd used up all his tire getting by Swanson. But he still had enough left to run down Wease.

Roarhig made some bold moves with a couple of outside passes on fast cars. I thought he really put on a great show.


Kyle Larson tried to come from the third row and lead all the cars into turn one on the first three starting attempts. They yellow flagged it every time. I think it was the fourth restart he finally stayed in line and we got a valid start. I love to see a driver get a good advantage on a start/restart. It's all part of the game, if you ask me. But Larson was cheating the start so bad there's no way they could let it slide. in the interview after the race he said something like "I'm new here and didn't know you couldn't do that". :3::3::8: That's funny, Kyle!


I hadn't been to IRP for many years. Man what a blast! I love these cars!

Enjoyable evening.

Great to see pavement making a little resurgence. I wish you all could have seen back when it contributed to the championship
