Hi All,

I'm flying down for the race in a couple of weeks while my friends are driving. We're working to coordinate a plan to meet. But, ideally I would be able to take some form of mass transit from the Birmingham airport to the race track. I haven't seen anything online. Is this possible or does anyone have suggestions for this commute without a car?

Thanks

Sorry. You're going to have to rent a car. Talladega is a good 45 miles outside of Birmingham.

There is no such thing as public transportation between Talladega and Birmingham. Rent a car or have your friends pick you up.

Ok. Thanks for the responses. I didn't know if there was a bus or anything.

Seeing how motel/hotel prices take a steep jump twice a year due to the races, I'm surprised there aren't shuttle busses.

Surprised no " creative minds" thought of running shuttle busses.
Talladega traffic gets bad on race days, yet no places run shuttle busses ?

a) Traffic can get extremely bad and you have your bus stuck for hours and passengers on it. Hello liability issues.
b) The stampede after the race is the same problem. Do you know Talladega airport has take off and landings on a 90 second schedule:>) An average of 1200 on race days.

No mass transit. I will be glad to pick someone up and take them to Talladega (the back route) for a fee. Also if you are looking for a place to stay next race, I rent my lake home out for the long weekend.
