Lincoln Park Speedway is a beautiful track sitting in the holler below the hillside seating, Whoever designed the grandstand there should win a medal as you can take your lawn chair in and sit between the benches easily. Can bring a cooler in etc. Racing's ususally pretty good and you can camp or get the same room for both Weds and Thurs as Terre Haute is only about thirty miles away.

Terre Haute, You never been there, You have to see it to believe it. Do yourself a favor, Walk down to the infield in turns one and two for hotlaps then out to the stands for qualifying and the race. You can also bring in a cooler here. At times Terre Haute racing is a combo of terror and exhilaration! Long straights and mainly flat turns, If it widens out, You'll see cars running on the wall as well as the inside guardrail and in the corners thats as much as fifty feet apart and they come down the straight and have to correct due to the stagger. Love this track! Hope you do too. Sit up in the bleachers out of four and bring a set of binoculars.

Bloomington, Also a track sitting bellow hillside seating beautiful red clay, decent concessions but you can bring a cooler, Racing can be great and I hope it is, I only got that luxury on about three of my last ten visits.

Tri State, Do yourself a favor and buy the reserved on the back straight. The track is kept in impeccable condition and every inch of it is used. I've only been twice but it's a great track. This track is also in the SW of the state, Closest for your trip home.

Id choose the four for the reasons listed above. Kokomo is a beast of a track but I love all the options we have up here. The racing can be great at any of them.

Have fun! No matter which you choose.
