The James Dean Museum is at Fairmount about 25 miles east of Kokomo. He was born and buried there. Maybe somebody has been there before that can tell us if it's worthwhile. I've never been but plan on going just for the heck of it.

Well, just checked out Fairmount on TripAdvisor and at the James Dean Gallery a private collector has the world's largest James Dean paraphanalia collection in a restored Victorian house that the reviewers all raved about. A couple other sights are in town -- cemetary where Dean is buried, some shop where Dean hung out, etc. -- so it sounds like fun if you like Dean and want to kill some time.

Yes I am a Port Royal regular, been going there for atleast 25+ years. I live 10-15 min from the place now, and used to live 10 min from Path Valley. I never went to Path Valley much though always made the made the 45minute - 1hour trip Port every saterday though. Wrenched on many cars at Port over the years only stopping the last few when my daughter was born. Probley will work my way back in some day after she gets older.

Thanks for all the info you guys and girls have given me so far. and keep it coming if you come up with anymore.

The pit trip at Gas city might be possible but not likely, depends on how soon I can leaving friday morning. Google says 8 hours and 31 minutes. What time do the pit gates open? Is it the 4 pm listed on the website? If so we might be able to make that.

Any info on ticket cost? I see the regular show prices on the websites but nothing for Sprint week. Can anyone help with that. even last years prices for pits and regular seats would help.

Last years general admission was $25...can't remember for sure but pit passes were either $30 or $35 dollars.

We played the golf course, Salt Creek after Indy this past Monday. Super close to Bloomington and it was great. Brown County state park is a nice place as well

Port to Susky is a little over an hour. And Susky is closer to Gettysburg. About a half an hour from Susky to G-burg

Gettysburg to Port is 1 hour and 33 min.
Gettysburg to Susky is 53 min.
Port to susky 1hour 9min.

all times by google maps.

Personal opion is travel the extra 37 min to Port if your looking for the best show. honestly Never watched sprints at Susky so don't have a good comparison to give you. Helped my cousin with his 358 late model there afew times thats been my only times there. Over all from what I have seen Susky is pretty good track.

Thanks guys for the distance info...never been to either track. I had a brief stop in Gettysburg back in 06 on the way to Hagerstown...seemed like a neat place and thought it would be nice to spend the day there on Monday. I heard good things about Port Royal (wet and a racy little joint) from HAR at the USAC show last year. I also heard that Susky was "wet and racey" when the CRA tour stopped there back in 1990 or 91 and Lealand McSpadden won...hopefully it will be that way this year.
