SW-Vista is good, but top row on H where meets J is the best in my opinion, been on both but prefer H/J edge, it covers much more of the track

08 I sat in SW Vista. It was okay, adn there was some action.
09 I sat in section J near the top. You can see the last 7 turns from here. Was way better, watching little wee Pedrosa trying with all his might to pick his bike up after falling in the last turn onto the straight.
Prefer section J, and that's where I'll be again next week.
I'll be driving down with my truck towing a trailer (bikes inside). Anyone know a good place to park both? Hopefully within the IMS grounds or near it. Got a 3day pass and reserved a hotel just a few miles away. But I'd prefer to keep the vehicles close by during the event.
Leave your truck at your hotel-trust me, you don't want to try to find and pay for cage parking near the track, and after the race, you will sit for hrs in the truck waiting for the traffic jam-bikes are given right-of-way by the traffic cops and you can leave track immediately on your bike.
Commute from your hotel to the track and back on the bike. With your 3 day pass you should be given a parking pass to park in the "bikes only" lot nearest to your seating.
That is a good plan and having the advantage of the bikes only parking close to our seats. Hopefully my gf can take the weekend off or else I'll have to bring my buddy along which mean doubling him to the venue. Two dudes on a bike (nothing wronge with that eh fellows?? :confused:). Looks like its going to hot all week at Indy, might have to backpack shorts and tees for the commute. Curious what is the best time to go on Sunday, race day?

Perhaps an option to take the 75 and 70 to save 2 hours, or stick with this and the twisties after Toledo if we aren't pressed for time.
Confirmed party: Myself, Hassan, Mohsen, Bojan (picking up from Kitchener en route)
Departure: Thursday 26th 8:30 am (Highway 10 and Eglinton Tim's - Mississauga), Kitchener stop / pick up aprox. 9:30am (Watson Blvd, Regional Rd 28 Tim's).

New River Gorge! Here I come!!
Anyone who has been down there before know what the parking situation is like?
I heard from a local (Toronto) bike shop that parking down there charges bikes!!!!!!!
1) Is bike parking free or charged at the Speedway? (If so, what's the rate?)
2) What parking laws do Indianapolis have about parking on the street?
on the street I don't know, at the track it's $40 for cars for the weekend and $20 for bikes for the three days.
Also get there early to find easy parking.....
and if anyone has a Ducati.....there's this option for parking....

you can pick up "Ducati Island" paking passes......I am not sure if they are free or not....sorry
Hey anyone want to car pool down Friday with me? Not off work till the afternoon around 1pm
I have my Sirius I can bring and a CB although I am not sure the CB is 100%:p
I have always bought 3 day tickets that come with free parking pass for a bike, close your seat.
I'm at E penthouse , any one near by
top of J stands.
Met Danny Eslick today too!!
....and Marco Simmoncelli. Got my pic taken with both of them! Woot.
Was it just me or was Saturday night down town just the biggest tackiest biker circus you ever saw?
The helmetless, T-shirted, Shorted squid fest was hard to comprehend!!
The racing was good but that venue is sub-par. I was expecting something monumental but was surprised to see something that reminded me of old Varsity Stadium!!!
I got mixed opinions of the weekend for sure. Equal measure of good and bad! Over all quite an experience!!!
