Indianapolis 500

Probably more on the lines of 3 hours total

I have to go to an airport whit no time slots, I never know when we will depart looks like TYQ is my best option. 3 hours driving ?

3 hours on race day isn't totally out of the realm of possibility depending on what time you're doing it. I drove home from IND to my apartment on race day once - it took me a little over an hour to go 8 miles and I lived miles away from the Speedway. This was a couple of hours before race time - a few hours later during the race traffic wasn't as bad but yeah - if you're driving to the race to be there in time for the start make sure you go way early.

if you don't need the entire 5,000 ft then you might want to try HFY it's on the southside of indy and close to the interstate and has a car rental on the field in the FBO, and the fuel prices are cheaper too. it's 4,300x 75 rnwy 01-19 fuel 100LL jet-a ox 1-4 avail
some hotels in the area that are nice too

My problem is insurance 5000 ft RWY minimum.
Thank you for all the info.

This might work: Fly into HFY (Greenwood, IN) and drive downtown. From there (you can call Indygo bus company) you can get shuttles to the track. You might also call Carey Limo and check on a car service to and from the track (that would work better from EYE.

If you want to pay me $200, I will pick you up at EYE, drop you off near the track and then pick you up after the race and get you back to EYE. (It pays to have grown up 1.5 miles from the track. I know all the back roads... ) TC

You dont need a slot time for departures. That is only for arrivals. Also, I just got off the phone with the feds and there is no slot required on Saturday.

There are arrival slots needed for Thursday Friday and Sunday but not Saturday. (Go figure).

IND is by far the best place to go. I have never had much a delay getting out after the race.
