One Really Great thing about this place is they give pretty good discounts to First Responders, Teachers, Vets and active Military, yeah Seniors get one too. (We paid $8 each) oh yeah they also have a handicapped area for wheelchairs) If you haven't ever seen the Late Model figure 8 , ,Put it on your "bucket list" It's the most wildest thing, souped up corvettes going faster than any street car across the "crossover". The leaders just won't slow down they make the others slow or stop, or take a chance on crashing, and they DO Go to Facebook there is videos there. To get a idea of what it's about. Its way,way,way better in person live. I believe they have different classes of racing 4 , 6 and 8 cylinders..and even young children racing what they call "Fast Carts" they have rolled over and the night we were there a go-kart crashed right into the wall in front of us. I would of gave Speedrome 5 stars if I didn't see that crash. I don't believe that track is really set up for this type of racing,,or the carts ain't, to do it safely. That child was knocked out for several mins, She seemed to be about maybe 12 to 13 years old maybe younger I don't know. had to have her helmet removed slowly, then removed from the cart. Put on a stretcher, put into the ambulance all the time unconscious. It literally made me sick seeing this. People were running over into the area to see more, and I didn't want to see any more, the thing that sticks out in my mind was how pretty her hair was braided up I believe someone said her name is Cheyenne, I don't know how she came out. But that thump sound when someone crashes into a Concrete wall actually sounded deadly to me. I'll still go back. Hope you do too,,,and the odd thing about it all is I believe that little girl will...
Read moreThe absolute coolest racing experience I've ever been to!!! Starting with the fast cart series which was neck to neck intense from youth to adult races to the unhinged chaos of the Grocery getter oval, flagpole, and figure 8- 75 lap race of derby like destruction! My favorite of the night was the pure oblideration and Mad Max style of Scool Bus Figure 8! 9 school busses with fearless drivers taking their massive vehicles as fast as they can around a figure 8 track and hurling themselves into their competitors to get the next position forward or take the competition out of the race! My whole family was on our toes in excitement and cheering for our driver as they smashed their way through 15 grueling laps to win the prize! And if that wasn't enough the last race was the trailer race where not only they wanted to win but is an objective to take out the trailer of their competitors which knocks them out of the race also in a 15 lap of total enialation to the finish line in one piece! It was a great time and we are looking forward to the next event at Indianapolis Speedrome! The price was $25 per ticket which was a very affordable price for a 5 hour experience. They had concessions and bathrooms all around the track for easy covienence and wheel chair accessible seating! Weather you are a fan of racing or derby or you don't know if you would like it because you have never been to either and your looking for a new family friendly fun experience definitely...
Read moreLocals just call a night at THE INDIANAPOLIS SPEEDROME "go'n to the races". This has to be the BEST place one can go to see real life Squidbillies! If the price of admission does not keep you entertained with the jacked-up late model heats and races (Do you call a tubbed-out 1979 Monty Carlo a "late model"?), to the Flagpole races, and the fantastic and exciting 100 lap World Figure-8 Challenge, you will be sure to be pleased by the school bus demolition, chicken races, chain gang races...or anything else a drunk Squidbilly with a couple left-over hoop-rides from the 1970, access to a junkyard, and a welding torch can think up. P.S. Me and my wife had our first date here, and drive our 1986 Cutlass Supreme 442 here EVERY weekend they are race'n! At age 22, when the wife was pregnant with our fifth kid, she went into labor when Seizmore won the Figure 8. I told her we was just gonna have to hold on before going to the hospital, because I wanted to git Seizmore's autograph! She had to walk cross-legged through the pits (too keep that bun in the oven!) with me to meet Sizemore! Gave me time to sober-up a little before rolling the old 442 to the hospital, too. Boogity Boogity Boogity...LET'S GO...
