    Eldora Parking

    Gonna be making my first visit to the Big E this week and I'm curious as to what some of you regulars would recommend as far as parking. That main lot along 118 by the main gates looks like it would fill up pretty quick so I'm wondering what the best bets are besides that main lot. Their website mentions the lots north of the track along North Star - Ft. Laramie road, but the track map says camping and by reservation for major races for those particular lots. Is your race ticket your reservation or how exactly does that work? Probably all dumb questions, bt just looking for some input.

    Best place to park as far as I'm concerned is parking outside turn 4.

      so many of the fans are there camping that car parking lots dont fill up as quick as you would think...i think they charge $5 across the street in the speedy camping lot...you'll be fine as long as you dont try rolling in at 7pmfyi, if you do park on the speedway property you will be forced to go left out of the main parking lot after the races, if you park over by turn 4 you will be forced to go right when leaving..

        If your race ticket doesn't have a section and row and seat number then you'll need a reserved seat. Think they are $2.
        If your getting passed,YOUR AS SLOW AS ME !!!!

          Thanks fellas. We'll figure it out I'm sure. Planning on getting there at/before 5 each day except Saturday when we'll try to roll in even earlier. Already got tickets and pretty pumped for it.

                Saturday can be tough! I wouldn't push it too much getting there late. The parking lot will eventually fill and people will start parking in all directions on the shoulder of the roads.

                  Last year was the first year I seen them actually direct traffic. And I've always parked in the Speedy lot across the street. I'd get there early as possible, especially Saturday.
                  Up in the air who my next “favorite” driver is. Really losing hope on Bloomer getting anywhere back to “normal”.
