If the guy I got my parking from last year gets back to me (emailed him last week) I'll share his info. I was in and out from that road in under 5 minutes. Walk to main grandstand was 15-20 mins but I rather that than be stuck for an hour and a half trying to get out of Cota Blvd.
But a lot of neighbors will be selling parking spots on their backyard. I recall $60 was the max on Sunday. Just try to avoid Elroy Rd. imo. I remember I parked on the guy's house on FM 812 and when leaving I took that road then turned left on Burklund Farm Rds and that's how I avoided all the traffic.
Any insights on parking? Going on Saturday and want ito avoid the shuttles! Thanks!!
I have been parking at Turn 1 which is Lot T.
I get there early and ignore the parking lot attendants and park pretty close to the gate so I can come back out to my car during breaks and cool off and just relax. There's always a ton of spaces open up close if you get there fairly early.
This year since we're only coming up for Sunday I will probably park along FM 812 somewhere and then drive straight South away from the track after the race. You avoid the gridlock if your seats are close to Turn 1.
We did park in those cash lots the first couple of years before I found Lot T which allowed us to avoid the hill when we switched to the grandstand seating.
I have personally never used the shuttles but I've read plenty of horror stories, especially if there's rain and the crowds are walking along the road backing up the shuttles. Last year I saw several people making the 1.5 mile walk from the track to the far parking lot on FM 812 South. I guess they got tired of waiting.
