Hello all,

I'm taking my family to Bloomington, Indiana Speedway tonight for the first time.  I couldn't find anything online about rules for bringing coolers or outside food/drinks.  Anybody have any scoop on the track that would be helpful for a first-timer?  Thanks!

 

On the way to Michigan for two very boring Napscar races 7 and 8 years ago, we went down to the home of the Kinsers.  Nice little track, think they were getting around there in under 10 seconds.  You could lug as much beer and food in as you wanted to back then.  Some of the bleachers, no doubt replaced since then, were very very old wooden planks, but we sat very comfortably on the ground.  One of the years, half way thru the race, the wind started blowing like heck, got very black in the sky and all of a sudden,announcer says, "would everyone please quickly but carefully move to their cars and leave the area".  Started pouring rain, stuck haulers, tornado warnings for next couple hours.   Very scary scene.

From the Bloomington website:

Please respect other race fans.  If you should have a disrespectful fan by you notify security.

Restrooms are located behind the tower.  They start out clean at each race if there are any problems, please notify the tower.

If you need to leave during the night be sure to get your hand stamped and have your ticket stub or you will not be allowed back in without paying.

Coolers allowed but NO GLASS allowed.


 

You might keep an eye out for THE KING.
They got rained out so I am sure he flew home just to take in the races there tonight!  

Thanks for all the replies...I don't know how I missed the info about coolers on their website.  I was searching all over.  Oh well, we went and had a good time.  Wooden plank bleachers were hard to handle for 5 hours though.  If you don't get there right when the gates open then it's hard to get a good lawn seat.
