What is parking like for the Parade? Might like to try that this year.

Carb day is always great. However, if you are driving to the track friday morning make sure you plan for getting there early or you will miss final practice (usually starts at 11 I think). With BC in the freedom 100 this year it will be even better. As for raceday parking, we always get in a yard in the neighborhood behind turn 3. Not sure what direction you will be going after the race. But, for those looking for something to do Sunday night after the 500 I would recommend MSCS at Haubstadt. Last year the 500 started at 1 I believe and we stayed for the whole race and made it down to Haubstadt in time for the heats. This year Indy starts at noon so that will give you another hour (remember that Haubstadt is on Central time).
