Indy Nationals schedule info

[Kendall42]

Liz or USAC...I am looking for more details on the Nationals at Indy.  The format and schedule is not posted yet.  I know the dates are the 6th-10th, but not sure what events are on each day. 

Austin wants to take drivers ed, but the last week of drivers ed is that week!  He can miss ONE day of drivers ed per State law.  So I am trying to figure out if we can do both that week.  Likely not and he has said that he will NOT miss Indy!  He will put off drivers ed till September if needed!  Glad he wants to race!

Thanks,
Brad

Will RV's be permitted to remain with trailers at the track.

[USAC Developmental]

Yes but you can not sleep inside the Speedway, everyone will have to leave when the gates close.

For those that want to camp you can go across the street or to the campground at ORP.

If you have not been to this show before, it is a blast!  We did Gasoline Alley the last year they had it and then USAC Nats last year.  This is our last year in QM racing, so we are really looking forward to this. 

You do have to exit the Speedway each evening.  They park the trailers in there and unhook so that you can take your RV out to a place to camp each night.  For me, I use a Toy Hauler for our QM racing...so it kinda sucks! LOL  We do not drop the trailer because we also have to sleep in it.  So we do not get a close parking spot.  Have to part where I can pull in and out each day.  But my cars are with me at the campground each night should I have to work on them, that is the only benefit. 

There is a group of us that camp at ORP (O'Rieley's Raceway Park) just a few miles from the Speedway.  It is usually Super Chevy Show weekend as well so there is stuff happening at the dragway, not sure about this year though.  The campground has power hook ups, bathrooms with showers, and lots of open space for the kids to run and play football, etc.  The adults of course have a nice spread of food and a couple fire pits going. 

Turns out to be a fun week all the way around.   We have put off Drivers Ed till fall so we do not have to miss any of Indy week!
