Where do spectators park?

Public Parking is in a grass field. It is NOT recommended to drive your lowered cars to be a spectator. You will drive over gravel and through a field to be parked.
TWO public entry points, a dedicated event parking team, and the best of the best, the Oldham County Sheriff Deputies directing traffic to help keep everyone moving on 42.
Shuttle service is available or you can enjoy a short walk to the event. Handicap parking will be provided—just let a parking attendant know upon arrival.
Public parking is $7 (advance purchase) or $10 at the gate. Portions of the parking fees goes to The First Car Project!
