Default Re: Joliet info

If I come up I-57, I've heard you want to turn off 12 miles before the track and access it on some state/county road. Where would that exit be?

Finally, any general track conditions information (prevailing winds, lane to lane differences)

I believe the exit you would take is Arsenel Rd exit. Take it east. I don't think that weight is a big concern as when I take it, it has MANY large trucks already on it. It connects to the old rt 66 or the road that the track is on. You will be just a couple mile south of the track. Someone may want to put some more names on those for me and advise if any construction is any where on those. Last time I was there they were on the exit only, but I-80 was a cluster.

NOTE: I got my Interstates mixed up, this is a good way from I-55 NOT I-57.

The track runs from the west to the east and north south winds can get "strange" past the grandstands, I have heard. I love the facility and the layout and would love to go more often. Good luck on your trip and the race.
