Get there early for the class eliminations, the heads up between close cars has some unique prep by teams. Also, Friday has Stock Eliminator in the tear down barn, Super Stock on Saturday.

I would top off my fuel tank before I get there. Locals gouge fuel prices big time that weekend. We drive thirty minutes after leaving there and fuel prices are much lower.

Park on the west side of the track-don't go in the front gate to park because they will park you on the east side of the track and you will have to walk 2 miles to the Stock and Super Stock pits. Stock and Super Stock has always pitted on the west side of the track and you can park accross the street in the parking lot next to the campground. Make sure to take plenty of water to keep you hydrated because it is always hot there. We have also stayed at some of the motels on michigan road rt 421at I-465 and it is an easy drive and good area. We usually bypass going down Clermont road (North side of the track)on Friday and later because it gets to be a big traffic jam and use the roads on the south side to get there. Get there early on Thursday and Friday (8 A.M.) if you don't want to miss anything because that is when they start class eliminations.
