The wife and I will be there in turn one.
Be sure to get tickets for the Indy mile flat track race too, (dirt). This is by far the most exciting form of motorcycle racing to see in person. It's the same weekend at the Indy fairgrounds scheduled around the MotoGP race. The Hayden's, Kenny Roberts, and other legends came up on the flat track.

As far as where I'm staying...it'll be the same place my wife and I stayed every year for the F1 race. Hampton Inn Southport. It's not too far from the track and the rates are good. You better get to booking. The F1 race filled that town up in a hurry the first year. Most of the teams will be downtown if that interests you. Be prepared to pay top dollar if anything is still available.
