The racetrack is big business, attracting about 800,000 visitors annually! Road America is in a rural community with about 1,000 permanent residents. The track’s location is in the middle of Eastern Wisconsin, close to Lake Michigan, North of Milwaukee, close to Sheboygan, Plymouth and Fond du Lac. You will probably experience traffic issues in and out, as the roads usually accommodate local traffic. Be patient and follow signage and your experience will flow better. Camping on the grounds is allowed and somewhat recommended, as close lodging can be an issue.

Pack allergy medications. Travel light, but no reserved grandstands. Might want to bring a chair or blanket. Coolers are allowed, but no glass. No private golf carts are permitted.
