Last time I was there you could carry in food and soft drinks.

No booze.

Re: L burg info please
 

Don is correct unless you pay the extra $10 to park on the back stretch. Then you can bring in a cooler full of tall boys and fire up a grill. No glass.

Re: L burg info please
 

No carry in alcohol in the main grandstands. Food and other drinks OK, they do check coolers

Jeff,
That may have changed as well, because there is now a sign at the Pit entrance that states...."No Carry in Achohol, per Indiana State law". In previous years it was ok on the back stretch because no beer was sold back there, but I beleive there is now beer (and food) sold from under the turn 2 grandstand. (at least this was the case at the UMP LM race). The sign is there non the less:confused:

Of course there are creative ways to get your beer in. :wink
and it helps to sneak in the same brand of beer sold at the track.

Re: L burg info please
 

That is correct Kieth. There is no carry in alcohol on the backstretch anymore. Under the turn 2 bleachers is 2 pop-ups and beer and food are sold there. Also for any drivers or people in the pits, food and soft drinks are now sold by the tech building.

Copied from FAQ on the www.lawrenceburgspeedway.com web site...

Q. Do you allow alcohol to be brought into the speedway?
A. By the Indiana State law, you cannot bring in alcohol.

Re: L burg info please
 

Since the new facilty has been built with more grandstands in turn 2, The State of Indiana won't allow beer to be brought into the speedway at all. Coolers will be checked by the police. We feel our beer prices are fair and our beer is ice cold. The law is the law, whether we all like them or not. We do allow 14" coolers to be brought in, so you can pack some Coke and bring in food if you like. Thanks for your understanding in this matter.

At least they don't have more people in the parking lot than in the stands durring the races like some track, not aruba, jamaica either.

That's Funny: The Class Track Tri-state is in Indiana and they sell the 16oz cans for 2.75 and you can bring beer in the grandstands & THAT you can bring in coolers of beer and they also sell beer. So pay the state, so we can bring in our beer in coolers. So don't say the state won't allow it when other Indiana tracks have a state licence so you can bring your own beer. Tell the complete story

What brand of beer is sold at Lawrenceburg?:D

Why don't you actually look up the law before making such a arrogant comment. It is the law in both ohio and indiana that you may not carry in Alcohol into any establishment with a liquer licence.
They got away with it for five years because basically it was off the beat path on the backstretch and there wasn't 2000 seats and a concession back there either.

Im sorry but that was just rude. If your getting away with it at THAT or another track. Its simply because they aren't enforcing it. Like I said. Kokomo and Gas City your not even allowed a cooler unless its for Diabetic supplies.

The law basically is to protect buisness. Bascially your can't bring your own beer to a bar or restaraunt

Don't forget IMS and ORP. You used to be able to carry in beer at The 'Burg until the current promoter took over. Also you could take in beer at Gas City until they banned coolers. This was a good call there,because their goofy grandstands made coolers a real hassle.

Re: L burg info please
 

I don't drink anymore so the no beer rule shouldn't bother me....but I don't drink any less either so it does!:moon:

Re: L burg info please
 

I guess I have missed something here, seems to me that all of us go to the tracks to watch racing, not to get wrapped up in whether or not beer can be carried in or not or whether the track sells it or not:headbang
Enough from me on this,need to get the yard mowed, get packed up and enjoy the first five nights of :shoutINDIANA SPRINT WEEK:checkered:

Re: L burg info please
 

The beer prices, assortment and service are so good at the 'Burg, that it just isn't worth the hassle to drag/sneak it in. Enloy ISW, grab a beer if you wish, heck grab one for me!:hoffman:

Re: L burg info please
 

Isnt that what Street Stocks, Mods, mini sprints, etc are for. Going to the parking lot to pound a beer or two until you hear the sprint cars pushed off?

(2) A facility that is used in connection with the operation of a paved track that is used primarily in the sport of auto racing.
(b) An establishment operated in violation of this section is declared to be a public nuisance and subject to abatement as other public nuisances are abated under the provisions of this title.
(Formerly: Acts 1973, P.L.55, SEC.1.) As amended by P.L.136-2000, SEC.4; P.L.204-2001, SEC.55.


IC 7.1-5-8-5


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Taking alcoholic beverage on licensed premises; exceptions
Sec. 5. (a) This section does not apply to a person who, on or about a licensed premises, carries, conveys, or consumes beer or wine:
(1) described in IC 7.1-1-2-3(a)(4); and
(2) not sold or offered for sale.
(b) This section does not apply to a person at a facility that is used in connection with the operation of a track that is used primarily in the sport of auto racing.
(c) It is a Class C misdemeanor for a person, for the person's own use, to knowingly carry on, convey to, or consume on or about the licensed premises of a permittee, an alcoholic beverage that was not then and there purchased from that permittee.

Here is what little bit I found in Indiana. Not that it is an issue, I just prefer Miller products. I have had 1 beer at the Burg this year, I plan on changing that number this week, don't run out of buckets.:D

Re: L burg info please
 

So basically it says you could take it into ORP *Paved* but not a dirt track selling alchohol.

Sorry, I just don't respect the conspirasist saying only when the new promotor took over. It's been in effect for at least 6 years.

Chuck, saying someone got a loophole (Probably Tony George and the others are piggybacking on that)

Re: L burg info please
 

Chuck I don't think its a loophole, it probably is just track rules. The tracks that do not allow alcohol to be brought in sell beer at a reasonable price(except Kentucky Speedway). The revenue from these sales help pay for the purse and operating cost of the track, I don't have a problem with that. I would like to be able to drink a miller lite in the stands at the burg though. I have had allergic reactions to certain alcoholic beverages in the past, it makes my butthole swell up and take over my whole body.:D

Re: L burg info please
 

I'll be hitting L'Burg for the first time tomorrow and Thurs. Are there any showers close to the track? Any good liquor stores around where I can grab some good beer as well?:D

Re: L burg info please
 

petey.whiteys liquor just east of the track.mention the speedway and they will give you a 10 persent discount.

There is a restroom and showerhouse on the fairgrounds. I don't know if it will be open or not but I hope so!

Chuck

Re: L burg info please
 

Man, I'm sure glad they have a restroom. Them there Budweisers that I rent have a tedency to want out.:O:

Re: L burg info please
 

I believe that law has been around in some form before, or at least since, I had the track. I've never known it to be enforced (by the State) at any track. When Greg Staab had the track, the beer distributor tried to convince Greg to enact that policy but, Greg decided against doing it. I can see both sides of it. The promotor has to generate revenue but, sometimes giving a little to make a place more fan friendly will actually pay more dividends in the long run.

Re: L burg info please
 

very well put cecil. i couldn't agree more...for once.lol

Re: L burg info please
 

Cecil, you nailed it. Most tracks would let you until excise stepped in. I know when I worked at Kokomo we were on a night to night permit. Excise are real sticklers and I know for a fact they were who stepped up and stopped carry in at Gas City. The tracks that let you carry in are the ones who don't sell beer. I do know one thing being on here talking about tracks that violate the rule is probably a good way to bring them unwanted attention from excise.

Re: L burg info please
 

The same thing happened at Eldora. That's just the way it is...

Well there's a certain track in Ind. that most of us adore that sells beer and lets you bring in (cans only) as well.
