Kokomo questions

Thanks to all for the advice. I'm sure I'll be fine finding the track, just wasn't sure what the best way out of Anderson would be.

This is a large intersection just past Wal-Mart and Sam's. I think, but am not sure (help, Jerry Spencer) that you turn left (west) on Morgan Street. The right turn (north) to the speedway is just after a set of railroad tracks. The tracks run along the east side of the road and the speedway is on the left side. You can see the parking area and grandstands from the turn.

I would say this is probably the best way. I drive from Gas City to Kokomo every day to work and it isn't too bad. The road after the railroad tracks you turn onto from Morgan Street is Davis Road. There's not really a good way through "stoplight city" if you're going to the track from the south or east, but that way is pretty simple.

artic monkey 21, be aware of the fact that no coolers or carry-in food are allowed in any part of the facility.

One of the last USAC races I worked there I wasn't even allowed to bring a bottle of water with me up to the tower. It was a hundred freaking degrees and it wasn't like I could tell Bill Carey that we needed to stop the race so I could stand in line at the concession stand & buy something to drink.

The racing is very good at Kokomo. I hope you enjoy the show.
