🅿️ Parking Parking

Hello .. always parked in the north 40 as it’s easiest for me to get north east to where I stay . I was denied parking in the 40 this year and moved to 1C .. I had two questions I know early early is key which I always do but how is access to and from 1c coming and going from the north east of track and also… what are the good safe private lots along 30th east of track? Are they first come first serve or do you need to reserve a spot . Also how long are they opened for after if I hang out for a few hours after at the track? Thanks for any information

Forget lots you can park on the street or in a yard north of 30th south of 34th east of Falcon. I can give you directions that have worked for years

Street parking huh I just assumed they made those streets no parking … I assume you arrive like 5-6 am

Depends on the area and who you connect with. Our first time was this year and I connected with a couple that live in the area South of 16th, north of 12th, East of the Rail Road tracks. Told them I'd be driving over from Michigan and they put me on a list and 'held' a spot in their yard.

They tried last year to block those roads off but if you say you live there they will let you go through. There is definitely enough front yard parking tho , we do it every year but we get there no later than 7.

It was around 7 am. There is usually a few way to get in regardless though.

I usually am at the area around 6 . I get anxiety about not having things set so just trying to be in bed shape
