I get our hotels as soon as possible after the tracks are announced. Hot Rod used to have a "headquarters" hotel list but they seemed to have quit doing that. I figure if we don't get in the rooms can always be canceled.

Others wait until they get in, others wait until the last minute, some just plan on finding a room on the road and may end up sleeping in their cars a night or two.

Some bring tents and/or sleeping bags and camp out. There was one guy that I think spent the night at the observation deck at the top of the Indy timing tower.

Motorhomes are considered support vehicles and not allowed.
