Going for the first time. Where is the best seating, hotel and closest airport to the track? Thanks!

I like middle of 1 & 2. Definetly depends on wind. Closest airport is Dayton, but Cincinnati just little further away and would guess much cheaper to fly to and from. Indianapolis and Columbus airports aren't long drives either

Fort Wayne, Indiana also not far but probably not cheapest

Sit in 3 or 4 way closer to track than 1 and 2. Upgrade pit pass and watch some races along fence in infield. No idea about hotels, half the fun is the tailgating.

I would like to tailgate but I'm coming from too far away to bring stuff to camp.

Dayton is about the closet decent commercial airport.

If you're serious and not some crap show drunk or drama queen, always welcome to tailgate with us. Let me know closer to the World. Will be there Thursday-Sunday.

A first time Eldora visitor has to upgrade to a pit pass and go stand in turn three right by the fence and watch them come screaming at you........

I live in Troy and I think any hotels in troy, or Sidney would be good but better get a reservation also maybe fly into Dayton real close. Gotta get wings and a pizza burger.

Going for the first time. Where is the best seating, hotel and closest airport to the track? Thanks!Troy, Sidney, Piqua, for hotels. Or across the state line in Indiana too. But you need to do it now, they book quick. I'd bet the Comfort Inn in Sidney is booked. Nice hotel and convenient.

Seating. Well, not sure what you have for tickets, I've always done reserved. The little bit left that's GA is gone quick. Meaning high enough up you can see. Haulers are in infield, so be aware of that for sight lines.

Columbus is about an hour and a half away. If you can fly into Rickenbacker, I bet you it's cheaper than Port Columbus. And you just jump on 70 and head west. Way I go, I live about twenty minutes from Rickenbacker.

Don't forget the spicy fried wings. Those things are the best anywhere! Or the spicy cheese balls. Shoot their food is next to none and price is right too. Plus cheap beer!

Definitely upgrade to a pit pass and be in there for about anything but the B's or A. Amazing.

i have 3 extra seats in sec NM 3rd row from top and on the isle coming into turn 3 . i believe that there some of best seats at Eldora,as this will be my 20th year. and have sat everywhere you can see the whole track as your high enough to see over the haulers Portland In 20 minutes from track i think its holiday inn express. i will be camping at the track 1st row outside pit gate you can tailgate by me if you would like.

My advice would be to buy you a good pair of googles .... It gets real bad for the 100 laps ....
