Provided that it isn't a complete washout, the wife and I will be attending The THAT for the first time. What do we need to know? My wife definitely loves her elephant ears...Lol. Thanks for any input! Wish I was going tonight.

Get there early to avoid the $5 parking fee. This will also allow you to get a good parking spot to enjoy ALL of the festivities and give you an easy departure after the races. Great venue with the fair! I love the tradition of the track, but the racing isn't as enjoyable to me as the smaller tracks. PERSONAL OPINION ONLY!
I would also consider ear plugs if considering sitting under the covered section. I only sat there once but if I remember correctly it was pretty loud. This coming from someone who never wears hearing protection 🙈

I would strongly recommend walking through the tunnel to the infield and getting a good look at the cars hot lapping and getting into either turn 1 or turn 3. If you haven't experienced that perspective it is breathtaking the first time you see it.
Silver Crown Championship Dirt Cars properly driven on a one mile dirt track are classic poetry in motion. Using that analogy, Jack Hewitt is one of the greatest poets of all time.
From the Vigo County Fair Website regarding parking:
Parking
Parking fees are as follows:
Vigo County Fair Parking Fees
Free parking until 4:00 p.m.
$5.00 per car after 4:00 p.m.
$5.00 per person walk up after 4:00p.m.
I hope that they actually work the track. The spring silver crown race track was BAD! Dust before even a throttle was cracked. THAT is supposed to have a cushion, not just loose dust and dirt above the groove. OK I said my piece, now weather permitting I'll see you all there Wednesday
