    Been going to that road course for years now. Not quite as long as a different commenter... But that whole trail by the kink is still pretty new. When I first started going there it was like a hidden trail. People kept going back there and the track finally got enough funds to actually make it an official area. I've even taken my motorcycle onto the track a couple of times too. Coming out of the ceracell and into the kink at high speeds is CRAZY beautiful. There's a lot of cool stuff you can do at Road America! Plus if you like nature retreats you have Elkheart Lake, High Cliff, and Point Beach nearby. Otherwise there's always Milwaukee. Or depending on when you get to / leave WI you got Oshkosh with the largest airshow in the WORLD. EAA which attracts close to 600,000 people from around the world. Which is usually the last week of July.

    I think it's worth mentioning that for every series EXCEPT NASCAR, the garage area is completely open to anybody with a GA ticket. For Indycar, there is nothing preventing you from rubbing elbows with Jimmie Johnson, Romain Grosjean, Josef Newgarden, etc. The NASCAR event was great, but just a sliver of what RA has to offer.

      @fr_flying 2 года назад +1

      @@brendenkennedy4304 If it stays the same as years past, you will be able to walk the paddock for all series, including IndyCar. This includes the being able to stand at the fence right behind the pit boxes and having an open view of the teams working on their cars. The RA website also has a good explanation of the access allowed for every series except NASCAR. Btw bring REALLY comfortable shoes- RA is best experienced by walking to all parts of the track, and it's the longest in the country.
