How about some suggestions on where to eat as well? I found a few nice places last year but I know there is some more.

Here is a good link to search for restaurants downtown

Everyone has their favorites. Guess it depends on what type of food your looking for

I can tell you a bunch of us from Chicago 5th gen camaro club went to the INDY track and got the royal tour including Press Boxes ect last year, It was the best thing I suggested as a last minute to do, I would reccomend it to anyone. They have a couple of different tours and the particular weekend we went last year they were offering the big VIP tour which they only do twice a year from what I understand, Maybe some organizers of the C5fest can give them a call and tell them to put it on their list and hire some extra staff cause we got a boatload of people coming into town that weekend. You will not be dissappointed !!

and their sister restaurant next door..Harry & Izzy's is a little more reasonable and offers more menu items including the famous shrimp _ _ _ _ tail. (which will bring tears to your eyes)

This go-cart place sounds fun, is it for adults too and where is it, LOL

[Ryanbabz71]

Fast times go cart track is really fun and is for adults. You have to wear the suit and helmets. Recently went as a team building activity. It was a blast
