Does anyone know which gate were using when we get to IRP, oops that's old school now it's called Lucas Oil Raceway. For some of us it will always be IRP. I guess I might at well ask where we will be pitted while I'm at it.

Hello Hollywood, I was thinking Chris said we'll be pitted on the west side, I would guess everyone will go thru the main gate??? That's just the S W A G theory!!!(scientific wild ass guess) !!! Maybe our fearless leader will post something soon. BILL

When I went there last June we went in the main gate. I understand we will be pitting on the opposite side from the paved pits. I guess that is the west side? This is the side that used to have a McDonnalds booth behind the grandstand on that side. The building is still there, I wonder if Mac's still work there?

Having been to IRP many times as a spectator let me ask, when you say main gate, is that the east gate off the back road that runs along the back of the track that runs along the staging lanes by the fuel tank storage farm? I remember mickey D's being on the west side which was where a lot of the stock and super stockers would pit.

The gate I am thinking of is right off 136/Crawfordsville Road. It has the huge sign and entrance stuff. It has to be the biggest gate/entrance to the place. We went in that way and lined up to another ticket booth set up by the east side of the circle track. From there we went due south to the paved pits. As stated though, we are probably going to the west side of the track and pit there. I am sure Doug Duell and Chris are looking out for us there and make sure where we pit is reasonable. Last year you could drive right in through the main gate, and everyone was lined up at the circle track waiting for them to open. Last year I think it was about noon they opened. www.google.com/maps/@39.8127554,-86.3418265,740m/data=!3m1!1e3 This is the google link.
