1 sucks! Not sure why anyone would go that way to start with. 74 West to Batesville. Turn right off the exit on 229 to 46 East to 129 South. Take 129 South to 350 East turn left, to 50 East turn left again, to the track.
Great smooth roads!
The Dick Gaines Memorial will have chamber of commerce weather this time around. I will be there and shooting for 3 - 3:30 this afternoon with some pet items in tow.

If you are in a car/pick up truck/SUV you can still us SR-1. Just as you enter Greendale the road is closed but a local detour is well marked. You will turn right on Nowlin Ave., left on Parkside Ave., then left on Ridge Ave. and you will end up at the stoplight at SR-1 and Ridge Ave.
You CANNOT use this detour with a trailer because there is a one lane tunnel you drive through on Nowlin Ave. to pass under the railroad tracks. If you have a trailer or motorhome I suggest I-275.
Stapps way is ok, Just watch for the deer as you would have too on Rt1. But I feel its only better if your starting in downtown Greensburg. The highway is the best way to fly.
Don't forget that tonight's race is also part of the 2016 Jackslash.com "Summer Series" presented by Weld Racing and will be taped for a later airing on MAV-TV.
