Hi all!
I need to fly into Kansas... somewhere I imagine ;D
Is there anyone that knows what airport I would need to fly into and how far away it is from the track? Oh, and how about directions from said airport to the track?
I know it's asking alot, but I gotta know! :)
Thanks in advance...
Forbes Field is a couple/few miles north of the track on Topeka Blvd. If you're gonna fly in to KCI, you're gonna be about sixty to seventy-five miles from the track via I-70/I-470/Kansas Turnpike. Probably easier to get flights in and out of Kansas City (KCI).
pull out of "baby dolls" go left... about 2 miles on the left you see the sign! ;D
unless you are lying a private jet, or your own cessna, you will need to fly into MCI, Kansas City International Airport.

once you arrive in KCI, expect 1 1/4 hours to travel from Kansas City Airport to HPT, (65 mins. if you put your head down!)
As Dave said, the track is located @ 7930 S Topeka Blvd directly across from Forbes Field, so use this mapquest link to navigate from MCI to HPT.
