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. |

Make sure to leave an extra day to see the museum with your son too, preferably after everyone goes home & easier to get in & thru.
My folks moved back to the Indy area in `71 with my Dad's job transfer, but I stayed in SoCal due to finishing college here - so I went a few times, & took my son to the museum when he was old enough. You & he will love it - much more than just Indy cars! PS - lotsa places to stay in Speedway (town) + Avon & Plainfield hotels aren't much further, but latter will have better pricing & easy to get to the Speedway if you drive up or rent a car in Indy. PSS - Maybe if you dye your hair white, put on the fake arrow on your head, carry a banjo & show your ID ... they just may let you sit with the VIPs!!??
