Its getting to the track,how difficult it will be on the day,and at what time to get there that I'm curious about.
We will maybe using the Bus or a hire car.
Any other helpful info,will be glad to know.
I have done the bus routes multiple years and it is a pretty good way to go. Some bus lanes are kept clear of regular race day traffic. If you get seats towards turn 1 IMO this is a good way to go. Experiencing the party that is the Indy 500 is also a huge part of the experience. My daughter got her first one last year and loved it.
