  • ENTER COKE LOT AT YOUR OWN RISK! Hahah. See videos in the links above. It’s worth a walk down to 25^th and Georgetown to see this “tradition”. You may get stopped by land owners who figured out how to make an extra buck by requiring wrist bands in the lot. They were 10.00 last year, but thanks to Joe and the VP…they have probably gone up.

    Legend’s Tip: Carry about 50.00 in cash on you. If you get mugged, it’s not a huge deal (no muggings have occurred in 12 straight years of doing this).

Traveling from out of Town:

We have Legend’s coming from Indiana, Virginia, Washington State, Florida, and
California! If you are coming from out of town, you will be flying into the Indy
Intl Airport.

An UBER to IMS LOT 3P Electric at the TRACK is required! As you can imagine,
no one will be “available” to pick you up or drop you off.
Cost: 15.00 one way

Sleeping Arrangements:

Over the years, we have slept in Hotels, RVs, Legend’s Bar, the ground, and in tents. It will not be much different this year except for the use of the Team Owner’s RV. That’s right. Big Ron had too much bourbon and is letting us stay in the motor home. Some lucky Legends will end up in the heat and cooled trailer. By the end of the evening, will it really matter?

Legend’s Tip: Shower up Thursday morning prior to leaving for the track because
water is a premium. I recommend baby wipes for all!
