Our choice of the phrase “survival kit” might be a bit overdone, but at the outset it presents an excellent opportunity for us to explain in detail just what this website is about and how it can benefit you the spectator.  When we developed this network of web guides it was our intention to provide you, the spectator, with the in-depth knowledge you need to know “it” like a native.  “It” referring to the venue, the city, the community, the traffic, the ins and outs, the what’s hot and the what’s not of everything related to a particular event. In this guide that event is the Indianapolis 500 mile race.   So, while “survival kit” is a fun descriptor, the real thrust of this page and the website as a whole, is to simply provide all the links you need to buy your tickets, schedule your airfare, rent your hotel room, locate great places to dine, and basically know where to go, what to do and how to do it.  We hope to provide you with the information you need to make your experience at the Indy 500 a great success.

 

So, what kinds of things might you need to know to make your experience at Indy a great success?  Basically, you need to know how to avoid the common pitfalls of the novice spectator.  Then, with information found on this website, use that information to make the most of your spectator experience.  With 15 days of race related track activity taking place on a 530 acre property, located in the 12th largest city in the country, where 400,000 fans show up each year to witness the greatest spectacle in racing, it’s very easy for something to go wrong.  It is our goal to help you avoid those problems and help you have a safe and memorable visit to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. 

 

Spectators with great tickets, good hotel accommodations, easy access to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and a good all-around knowledge of the organizational aspects of the speedway and the city of Indianapolis as a whole are generally happy spectators.  That’s not so difficult you say?  True, it’s not that difficult.  However, its easier to get one of those concerns all fouled up and when you do, you won’t be one of those happy spectators.  So, the topics below are provided for your information with the hope that you will be able to use this information to your benefit and make your visit the best it can be.
