We've been camping in private residences almost every year since 1984, and coincidentally in the turn 4 area.

Depending on the size of your outfit you shouldn't have too hard of a time finding a place to set up and camp. Especially since your getting into Speedway on Thursday.

You may have to scout around the area a bit but there are many people willing to let you camp in their yards. Some will even let you plug in although most times their service won't allow for the running of your air conditioner but you can at least watch TV and run your fridge, etc.

Look around on West 22nd St., North Auburn St., McRay St., Fisher Ave., Winton Ave., or Allison Ave., or maybe West 24th. I'm sure I'm forgetting a few streets in that area but the ones I mentioned will give you a lay of the land, so to speak. There are campers set up in yards all over that area and it's maybe a 10-12 minute walk to the turn 4 gates of The Speedway. The closer to The Speedway the more it's gonna' cost you. If you stay over near Speedway High School on the corner of 25th and Lynhurst it will obviously be cheaper than if you find a place 2 blocks from The Speedway.

Luckily McGilvery's is only a hop and a skip from that area, too.

We'll be right in that general vicinity ourselves.

Good luck and have fun!!
