Racer's Guide to Heartland Park
Access to the track from the major highways is good. The entrance to the track is through a tunnel under the track, so it is possible to enter and leave while races are in progress.
There is ample paved paddock space for RV and trailer parking, and some electrical hookups are available (contact the track for cost and availability). Camping and pets are permitted (pets must be kept on a leash at all times). There are modern permanent restrooms and shower facilities. The concession stand and a souvenir shop are open on most race weekends, for limited hours. There is an ATM machine next to Hospitality. It is anticipated that wireless internet access will be available.
A number of different grades of race gas are available from self-service, credit-card operated pumps. Street gas is available from service stations on S. Topeka Blvd within a couple of miles of the track. An O'Reilly Auto Parts Store, which carries a larger-than-usual selection of racing-related items, is located on the east side of S. Topeka Blvd just south of I-470.
The false grid is located on the west side of the paddock. The pit lane enters the track on driver's left close to Turn 0. Pit-in is reached by going straight, rather than turning right, at Turn 12. Sound control for SCCA events is on driver's left just before Turn 9. Tech and impound are located in the Tech Barn on the south side of the North paddock.
