All ADULT pit pass upgrades must be performed at the Upgrade Station located outside of turn 4, near Gate 3. You must have a valid ticket for each day you want to upgrade (meaning if you come on Thursday and want to upgrade to a 3-day pit pass, you will need your Thursday, Friday, & Saturday ticket in hand to do so).

Minimum age in the pit area is 14. Ages 14-17 require parental consent waivers to be signed.

Pit pass upgrade prices:
Thursday only: $10
Friday only: $10
Saturday only: $20
3-Day (Thur/Fri/Sat): $30
2-Day (Fri/Sat): $25

When upgrading a reserved seat ticket – you still retain the reserved seat location.

Regular full price pit passes are available at any ticket window around the track.

MINOR PIT PASSES:

All MINOR pit passes and MINOR pit pass upgrades must be processed at Gate 4. Minor waivers will not be accepted at any other ticket office or ticket window on property.

HILLSIDE MARKINGS

 

On Thursday, September 5, admission gates will open at 12:00 pm. Eldora staff members will walk each line into the facility in a 𝙨𝙖𝙛𝙚 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙤𝙧𝙙𝙚𝙧𝙡𝙮 fashion. Lines will be walked to each respective holding area (see map below). Once all fans have safely moved inside the facility, the Eldora staff members will simultaneously release each line to begin placing chairs on the hillside.

CORNHOLE TOURNAMENT

 

TBA

POST-RACE TRAFFIC

 

Everyone arrives at different times throughout the week but most leave at the same time after the race. As such, parking lots and roadways can be congested. To help alleviate congestion, local authorities will be initiating a post-race traffic pattern that will get the lots emptied quicker.

Please look at the map below (click it for a printable version). Each lot will exit in a specific direction. If you find yourself going in the opposite direction that you need to be going, check out a local map of the area roads. Many roads and highways in this area are square mile blocks so getting yourself pointed in the right direction should be a breeze.
