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. |

It's not all that big. Not even half day. They offer rides around the track and that's fun. Just a bus ride. Visit the track photo library on the second floor. You can order any picture in any size.

Thanks. We will probably do the museum Saturday morning. If you have any other things we should definitely see while there, I'd appreciate it. |

The Dallara Factory and CarpenterFisherHartman are worth going to. I think there is an indoor go-kart building being built by CFH also. Foyt has a wine shop too. All these are on Main Street just south of the 16th St round a bout. The Museum can be as long as you want, but do take your time. indydad |
