You can not go wrong with either of these options here. I like the sauce better at Squealers but the atmosphere at Pit Stop is hands down the best for a race fan.

That must be a nice Sunday afternoon drive. Do you watch the first lap at Indy and then leave?

Thanks for all the great suggestions and it's interesting seeing everybody's itinerary. My buddy from CA says he is locked into the BBQ. Hmmm, I need to find a way out of that.

The shop tours and memorabilia shows should interesting also.

Going from Indy back to Sun Prairie is quite a haul. About 6 hours if you're doing it quickly. Maybe you are flying?

If we make Angell Park in time we'll go to the race & stay over night, if not it's only another 250 miles home.

My plan:

Of course none of this really shows alternate plans, in case the weather doesn't cooperate. I pray that doesn't enter into the picture.

Wednesday May 22nd
USAC Sprints at The Terre Haute Action Track

Thursday May 23rd
Travel 120miles
Library, coffee shop, pool, Update paperwork
USAC Silver Crown Series at The Fairgrounds

Friday May 24th
Travel 75 miles
Staples, Panera, pool
Gas City Speedway – Local Sprints

Saturday May 25th
Travel 32miles
Update paperwork, set up scoring sheets for LIL 500
If time...Library, coffee shop, pool
LIL 500

Sunday May 26th
Travel 97 miles
Staples, Panera, pool, Update paperwork
Kokomo Klassic

Return home 275 miles. Possibly broke from fuel expense but well raced (I hope!)with great memories and a smile.

I agree you can't go wrong as Pit Stop is definitely a racer's joint. Squealers on 86th is my annual stop for a "Hoosier Tenderloin" sandwich to go as I travel across Indiana enjoying the best racing in the world!

Maybe I am biased from going there a lot, but I would not miss Gas City Friday Night and Kokomo Sunday Night. Everything else will be filler.

Drop your buddy off at Judge's and then go to Gas City. Tell him you'll pick him up on the way back.

He should be full by then!

If you actually want to see a race after the 500,I'd recommend going to Kokomo.

Can't this year but we always did the "Night before the 500" at Raceway Park (IRP/LORP) and then hauled outta there fast and sped down to Putnamville. I remember catching the B and A main's for free.
