Is there any place to put a lawn chair at the top on a flat surface? Wife is disabled and can not walk very far or do steps or hills?

I think you would be fine with a flat area in the stands but the admission gate is up on top a large hill. I believe there is some parking up there though just be prepared for it.

The Amati Memorial has been a favorite of mine for many years now since it’s beginning. It takes me back to the good old days when we would have special 40 lap features.
I would be much obliged, if someone will please post (in case mother nature ruins it) before I start my 3 Hour Drive there.

Peace & love to all.
God bless our Troops at home and abroad.
INDY1808 SEE YOU AT THE RACES !

Hopefully the ol' One Arm Bandit's got some influence in the weather department, up there. Because everything is in alignment for a big and talented field, tonight. A 68 lap war would be a great way to get this weekend started.

Here's a trivia question for you: Why did Keith name it the "Chuck Amati 68 and make it 68 laps"?

I would like to attend this as well. I am about 1 1/2- 2 hours away. However i just looked at the radar and there looks to be a band of storms heading that way. The storms are just about St. Louis right now. Unless the storms change direction or break up its not looking good. Just have to wait and see.

Hope you get it in, but with future radar forecast for tonight, tough to justify my 2 1/2 hour drive time. Best of luck to all of the competitors.
