Best Day to go to Indy 1500?

[JettaKnight]

I'll be there Saturday morning.

 

[Sgt Taco]

Let us know how the lines are please.

I am thinking of leaving in about getting there about 3...By 4:30 last time the crowds was too large. HOping its lighter due to the election results this time.

With the possibility of ice storm tonight, I'm heading out in about 15 minutes. Tomorrow's roads may be horrible although I still have to go to work.

[Kirk Freeman]

Anyone with a road report for those from the ice-free North coming in to the Big City?

 

[Notalentbum]

Roads on westside of Indy were clear an hour ago.

Keep is outsiders informed on road conditions. Coming from the north with my son for the first time. I'm pretty excited he gets to share with me and the wife the experience .

I'm stuck at work the rest of the day so that was my one and only road report for the day.

I went yesterday about 3. Rather light crowds. I walked right up to ticket window, no line at all. I got everything I went for and bought yet another holster for my truck pistol. Pretty well decided that I'll never be comfortable with IWB. Probably should post up all my IWB holsters and get rid of them.

In Westfield it's wet maybe a little slippery but nothing major in Carmel totally just wet no problem at all but to be fair, I'm sure Carmel has a finer grade imported salt that they use. Kidding aside roads should not be a hindering factor from what I've seen

I'm in franklin county and we have a light coating of ice with drizzle. I was in indy yesterday for an appointment and drove by the fairgrounds at 3:15 and there was no line to get in. The parking lot across the street looked pretty empty compared to most shows. Didn't need anything so didn't stop.

$25/case Evansville civilians mre's. That's half the price of the INGO group buy years ago.

I saw those. I considered grabbing a few cases but I have never investigated mre's to know if they were good ones or not. I've slowly learned that not everything at the 1500 is quality merchandise!

I always go on Friday because it's not as crowded but unfortunately there are a handful of vendors/dealers who don't bother coming on Friday.

 

[cakedahl]

I prefer going Saturday morning right when it opens because by around 10 am the place starts to get packed.

I've found that the best day to go is (drumroll please) NEVER! That's right, NEVER. Crop dusters, crowded, over-priced, rude, obnoxious, smelly people, arrogant vendors, overpriced, long lines, jackasses that like to congregate in the middle of already narrow aisles and lie about women they've ****ed, it just isn't worth it. although I would like to get another belt from that one vendor but add the price of parking, admission and the time involved driving up there just ain't worth it! If I've left anything out please feel free to quote and add.

Go on Sunday. Seems to me they are more willing to deal with cash.

 

[Hoosier45]

Do NOT go on Thursday or Monday. Those are the worst days.
