First Time to EXPO? Racing and other outside events take place just west of Iris Avenue on the 'old' airfield. Bleachers are constructed from huge snow piles and sit high so you can see down into the snow course track and aerials area. Make sure to dress warmly, bring an outdoor chair, or blankets too. There will be hot and cold beverages, and food available as well.

You can park near Iris Street or along Yellowstone Avenue, or just at your hotel or motel. Free shuttles will run throughout the day and early evenings from the race area to the Exhibition Hall at the Holiday Inn to motels and hotels, and by the Swap Meet and Motorcycle Freestyle.
