I know it is early. But, public tickets will go on sale in October. So I wanted to throw it out there.
Anyone going in 2016? Next year is the 100th running of the race. We've never been. So I figured it was a good year to go. My oldest son and I are planning to drive the 914 up to the race. Any advice on where to stay? I have a reservation at La Quinta Inn & Suites Indianapolis AP Plainfield. It is by the airport, about 13 miles from the track. We will be driving up from Charlotte - either through Virginia, West Virginia, Ohio, or through Kentucky, depending on whether others might want drive with us. Maybe a 914 caravan? Our plan is to drive up on Friday, have Saturday to go to the museum, etc., watch the race on Sunday, and drive home Monday. |

I live in Indy, go to the race every year with my brother and have so since I moved here in 1996. It's still an amazing experience that every motorsport fan needs to experience at least once in their life! I've heard the ticket price increase is modest. My tickets only went up $5.
Steve, Plainfield is as good a place to stay as any and pretty convenient to the track. Hotel rooms will likely be gone by the end of the year so book now! I'm happy to do whatever I can to help - would love to have some kind of meet up Saturday night. Aaron in indy |
