Is it possible to find any safe Lodging that is affordiable for 2 college students for the Indy 500???

you can camp right next to the speedway for about 40 bucks per vehicle, there are several huge fields nearby used for parking and camping. I did it last year. It's loud with all the parties all around all week so I can't guarentee a whole lot of sleep but it is really close and convienent to the track.
