This is a great place to visit. It is public friendly and a great racing atmosphere in the Paddock (gift store). I highly recommend the sunset cruises. They allow you to take a our street car on three guided laps of the 4-mile track. It's truly a bucket list item even for non-racers.

They have vintage, NASCAR style, motorcycle and Indycar races. Annually, there is also a Friday night where the race cars have a police escort to take over the downtown nearby Elkhart Lake. They park on the streets for a couple of hours and the public can see them up close, mingle with the drivers and maybe even sit in the cars. It is a great atmosphere and everybody is in a good mood.

Take the time to seek out this gem in a beautiful part of the state.
