Heading to the 500, I've parked in 3 different locations before. Let me know your best parking spot for easy in & easy out.
We would go down Layfayette to 34th St then turn south on Lowry Rd, just before Georgetown. Take that down and pretty much park wherever. We'd try to get near Midvale & Patricia.
Two years ago we parked in a yard just south of Thrush on Midvale. Deaf guy seemed to own the yard. Came back after the race and our car had been towed. Turned out the deaf guy didn't own the yard and basically took our money. Cops came out and the guy played dumb like we had just walked away. So watch out for that guy. But we parked in that area for a long time without a problem.
Now I have a buddy that lives of Main St, so I park in his yard for free.
