How to avoid traffic jam when leaving, (and going in later in the day). You have to park in the furtherest parking lot for this to work because all the traffic will be going the other way when leaving. Its about 3/4mi. walk to grand stand. All distances are a good guess, not exact.
PA tpke. west to exit 286, pay toll, go straight 1/2mi. to rt 272 N. (NOT RT222). Turn R on 272 N. go 1/2mi.Turn right onto rt.897 (swartzville rd. with a name change to dry tavern rd ).Fallow 897 east, cross over pa tpke., the 3 rd left after patpke should be school rd. Turn left onto school rd. (Note; do not turn at Gehman school rd.,wrong one). Go about 1.2 mi. ( nice S turn on road) at stop sign turn left onto W.Maple grove Rd. Road then bears to right after 100 yards (fallow Main roadway) At next stop sign go straight (road name changes to E. Maple Grove Rd. ) Cross over Patpke again, after 1.2 mi road name changes to Bowmansville rd (you may not notice the name change , but you will notice the road surface change ). Go a further 6/10mi. to Maple grove park, turn right and park near the road you just turned off of. If you drive until you can see the race track,turn around and go back to top of the hill and park. walk down hill on the road thru parking lot. This is the far out over flow parking lot, I think it is worth the walk to avoid traffic jam after race. And check out the maps on msn live search, you can zoom in and see every rd. just type in maple grove park.
Do not pay to park ,some people charge to park in there yard, not worth it.
