Wonder if any of you have the same thoughts? Just wondering what the policy is on marking a seat? And a couple folks on here have stated the best spot is pit bleachers, and do people mark any seats in there? Coming from NWI, when I go to Kokomo, I've found my best route is to take I-65 to 18, I was wondering if doing that and staying on 18 into Montpelier would be the best bet, or east on RT-30 and then head south somewhere? Thanks for the input, and hopefully I'll meet a couple more IOW'S, and put some more faces to names.
Last time I was there you could still mark seats there using blankets/tarps with tarp straps/tape. They don't like you using oversized seat cushions because it gets pretty packed when USAC shows up.

18 is a straight shot from 69 if you're coming directly from the west. If you're approaching from the north on 69 you can also come down through Warren (the route I took when I lived in Fort Wayne).

If I were you coming from NWI, I'd run US-30 over past Warsaw to the little town of Larwill and take SR 5 south all the way down to Warren and then from there down 3 and onto 18 and run into Montpelier. I'm a scenic route kind of guy but it all depends on how much time you have to get to Pelier. It's a pretty simple route once you take a look at it on the map.

Have fun
