As title states, looking to make a road trip next summer with my lil gal. She is a photographer, and the moto bug has bitten her pretty good. I've taken her to Ponca, Lorettas, and various local tracks, but we want to hit an outdoor next year. Based on the 17 schedule, ( and most tracks are used each year ), what do you guys recommend? Put the whole package into perspective....... meaning decent hotels fairly close, parking, pit bike useage.... you get the idea. We are in the Midwest, so hitting the road is cool to head any direction ( we even bought a moto rig just for these getaways ), so all opinions/ suggestions are appreciated. Redbud always pops up, but Millville comes up too. Looking for great viewing of the track, and general fun experience all in one. Thanks guys!

For Red Bud, plenty of hotels available within a 20 minute drive or less in Niles or South Bend.
Not the best spectator track as far as seeing all of the track from one place but everything just looks so awesome.... like a golf course.... and spectators there are always interesting if she is into shooting people.....
As far as the track itself goes, many will say it's the best on the circuit. Although the down fall is it is kind of secluded. Very pretty and great locals, though.
Red Bud has great viewing, but at a price as well. It's a wild time if you're into high energy and booze but I could see some locals being annoying to someone just trying to mind their own business.
I've had loads of fun at both!
Ironman is another one close to me. Great track and facility but the viewing isn't spectacular for the fans and unfortunately being the last race of the season, the energy isn't always the same as others.
Beautiful facility and very scenic,can access all sections of the track.
Big fucking trees are part of our landscape, perhaps you've seen?
*Also good viewing, i was in the bottom area and you could see the riders pretty much everywhere going up and down the mountain!
