It would probably be in your best interest to purchase BEFORE getting there. For those non-Hoosiers, the Indy Speedway is an infestation of hillbillies and drunken debauchery, and I have a feeling that given the traditional "race day" events, it will be PACKED with wife-beaters. To not have to stand in line may save you a lot of heartache (not ot mention we get to find the best standing position before everyone else!).
Katie, Beasle, Suzanne, Christie: Still going?
ang, becky... shall we carpool?
can't wait to see you again jen and suzanne!
Ang will be in Naperville... however, she'd come down, I think...
Then click on the D next to Daily General Admission Tickets.
Then click on Qualification Day Ticket May 10th,11th,17th and18th.
Scroll to how many tickets you want, add to cart and then you're good to go.
BOUGHT THEM!!
BOUGHT THEM!!
Yep! And you need a ride. Which I am providing.

Well, I'm gonna be heading to Louisville after the show, so I don't think it'd work, unless my friend Peter would be willing to drive me all the way back home.
But I dunno, plans might change. I'll keep you posted.

Oh shit! That's right, I totally forgot... alrighty! Yes, keep us posted
Wow, it is going to be PACKED, I'm sure. I'd say everyone should arrive no later than four-ish (and bring sunscreen, lest you want a trucker tan). I heard a smidgen of Forever the Sickest Kids two weeks ago and they weren't bad at all; this stands to be a pretty awesome show.
I wish I could say where the stage will be set up, but I have not been to a concert held at the Speedway, so it is pretty much hit or miss when it comes to how close we can get.
If anyone wants to meetup with Christie and I before the show, you are more than welcome to park your butts at my place beforehand, and we can carpool in my lovely Saturn.
you might want to get there sooner than four since ok go is on from 2:45 to 3:45... unless you're referring to 4am...
Anybody else gonna get in line for a temporary tattoo or for the CardioChek Free Cholesterol and Glucose Screenings? How awesome would it be if we all got temporary tattoos just for the show? Ok, maybe not.
Hmmm. The Qualifications will be happening from noon to 6pm. Wonder how loud it's gonna be.
Also, this grounds map shows the location of the Coke Zero stage, daily parking lots, and gates. (Ha! I knew I would find a track map!)
I'm probably getting there between 11 and noon. I like to be early.
I'm down for the CardioChek Free Cholesterol and Glucose Screenings presented by Vision Racing. You know now we have to call it that the whole time. Not just "CardioChek," or "cholesterol screenings," but the "CardioChek Free Cholesterol and Glucose Screenings presented by Vision Racing."
And - wait! - at 11:57 am there's a National Anthem duet performed by 500 Festival Princesses. Can't miss that. Meaning no disrespect to the National Anthem, mind you. Maybe to the Princesses, though. Will they wear tiaras, ya think?
edit: P.S. Qualifications will just be one car at a time. Probably with pauses in between. So I guess not that loud. The stage is separated from the track by a few tall buildings/grandstands, which will help block the noise.
Another word of advice: You want to park as close as possible to Gate 6, I'm guessing. This track is a 2.5 mile quad oval. I went to a NASCAR race at a 1.5 mile quad oval a few years ago, and I was totally unprepared for the size of that place. It's far, far vaster than a football field, which was my only point of reference at the time. You don't want to be walking any kind of distance around it, if you can help it.

Yep, that's the schedule I found the neat stuff on.
Were you able to find anywhere on the web page where it lists how much parking will be? I tried to do a search thing, but it keeps telling me that the parking is sold out and it's $20.00, but I'm assuming it's just for May 25th. I see on the map that there is free parking in Lot 7, but I'd rather park in Lot 2. Gah, this is aggravating.
Random, Lot 1C is shaped like Indiana.
haha, someone should spill a gallon of water in the top left corner of the lot to represent lake michigan...
