Last year the Corral is what made the trip great. We got to park on the track on the back straight. It was easy to get to your seats with food/beer vendors right behind the stands. Im hoping to here word on a corral this year.

I think it was last year(2004). I could be wrong though. It very well may have been like the week before or after too. Can't remember. Darn senility :lol: But seriously, every GP race at Indy since 2000(when it came back to the U.S.) has been on a Sunday. I somehow got it logged into my mind that it was the 20th of June.

Streetman has organized the Indy Meet with the Car Corral, group seating, karting, etc. for the past three or four years. I haven't seen anything in here or over in MWIC about doing it this year, though.

Nice site, Kevin. Impressive art, too. Unfortunately, I'm driving in for the qualifying/race on Sunday morning because of my vexation at the extortion perpetrated by the Indianapolis hotel industry (three-day minimum, four times the normal rate...I don't think so).
Now, I can blow off practice, because nobody really practices that hard any more because they're saving the cars, and ignore the Saturday qualifying. It's great. And it isn't even the money that makes me annoyed, just the shameful way they take advantage of race fans. Grrrr!

Kevin(gtguy), I found a hotel room for $120/night. Single queen room. I don't think there's a way around the 3 night minimum though. Check out Signature Inn on the west side of town. Off of Washington street. Here's the address/phone number...
7610 Old Trails Rd.
Indianapolis, Indiana 46219
Phone: 317-353-6966
This place is about 20 minutes from the race track(without race traffic, of course). It's on the other side of town though(Washington and I-465). Hope that helps:).

Thanks gt, I was looking into hotels about a month ago and almost crapped myself. I luckily am letting my art pay for a couple of hotel rooms. I am staying at the Omni North (soon to be Hilton) on the far north side of town. I stayed there last year too and its was full of race fans so i guess we spread out as far as we have to get a room.

Thanks, Finn. I stayed at the Days Inn downtown last year, which was certainly convenient, and $100 per night after I overheard the desk clerk give that rate to some walk-ins on Saturday afternoon, and demanded the same rate. It won't be that big of a hardship to drive in on Sunday a.m. It beats the hell out of being extorted. Besides, I'm not the one who'll be driving. :lol:

595.00 per night with a three night minimum. We do get a exe suite that is 1000+ sq feet. We go with 5 guys and try to meet as many Columbian women as possible.
PLus the hotel has open bar every night from 5:30-7:30pm so we make as much money back as possible.
If anyone wants to meet us for free drinks PM me.
See you there.

I got them for a price of a painting; I traded straight up 1 painting for 2 rooms 3 nights. Let me know if you want one, there is always a NASIOC discount. I hope to meet a bunch a people this year, I usually am so damned busy I never get a chance to socialize.

"Thank you very much for the email and we will be continuing the Car Corral for this year�s United States Grand Prix. In terms of securing a parking pass for the Corral, all you need to do is call (800)-822-INDY and let them know that you would like a Car Corral Parking pass with your tickets."

Where is the best place to park during the race? assuming that the corral will not be available this year. I'm planning to buy the tickets today if possible. thanks.
| artkevin | 04-28-2005 10:33 AM |
I park the whole weekend right by the big water tower thing with the pitstop painting on the side of it. Its $50 for all 3 days and its easy in easy out. I sit in the NW Vista though so its about as far of a walk as you can get but at least you get to pass all the vendors on the out side.
| citra | 04-28-2005 10:54 AM |
Thanks but the explanation doesn't do me any good since I have never been there before. :) If you know the lot number, it'll be great. I'm planning to buy couple of tickets on the J section.
| artkevin | 04-28-2005 12:03 PM |
I think it is lot 3 by the map on [url]www.brickyard.com[/url],. Its off of W 16th which is a major feeder to the speedway. Its damned far from stand J though. But like I said, easy in easy out. 2 years ago after the race I was on a highway with very little traffic in less then 15 minutes of being in the car. At Texas Motorspeedway I have sat in the car for over an hour waiting to get out of the parking lot.

You can buy on the street/road leading to the track or as you walk up right in front of the track. USGP has yet to sell out. Tickets are plentifull.
As obvious as these guys are I am sure it's legal.
We drove up to the roaddside vendors on Sunday morning and haggled with them. By then they need to sell.

Plus, we're splitting it 3 ways.
More $$ for beer. Mmmmmmmm. Beer

there was no organizing it as in years past. IMS is taking care of it and it's still free.
The scalpers are everywhere (it's legal there) and most tickets can be had for face value and less. Except for H & J sections--those are usually at premium $$ cuz they are sold out. Can't get into Corral with scalper tix tho. :(

Don't want to pay high hotel rates, staying just one night? Just bring a tent and park in one of the lots on the west side of the track. I think it was $20 to park overnight at the Coca Cola lot in 2003. Meet up with friends you haven't met yet around campfires and drink up.
Scalped tickets are the way to go!
If you have never been there before go in on Friday or Saturday, nothing is reserved. Scout out where you want to sit. Then go shopping for tickets on Saturday night or Sunday morning. In 2001 I got a $150 ticket for $75. 2003 I payed $100 for a great seat in the J stand, $85 face price.
