Lake Ponca is on the northeast side of Ponca City. Most folks will be coming in from the west from I-35 or from the south U.S. 412 from Tulsa and up 177 into Ponca City.
From the West off I-35: Take Highway 60 into Ponca City. First light is at the northwest corner of Conoco/Phillips' huge tank farm. Keep going east on what has now become South Ave. Go east until you get to 14th Street. (Dixie Dog is on southeast side, Ponca Tire is on northwest side, and a new Conoco Truckstop convenience store is on the northeast side of this intersection which is U.S. 177 and 14th Street. Turn left.
The EconoLodge is not quite a mile north on 14th Street (on the west side).
Coming from the South: On 177 first light is Old Highway 60. Keep moving north on U.S. 177 which joins South Ave. (see above) at the intersection with the Dixie Dog etc. You will now be on 14th Street (177 just becomes 14th Street at South Ave.) Econolodge is less than a mile north of that intersection on the west side.
To the Race Site: From the Econolodge take 14th Street north to second traffic light (Highland Avenue / Lake Road) Turn right and follow Lake Road until you see a large automatic car wash on the north side of the road, take a left before you cross Turkey Creek Bridge. Follow what is about to become L.A. Cann Road (There'll be "boat race signs" along through this area) to the right, across a little bridge and by Pauline's Supper club. You'll then cross the "canal bridge" between West and East Lake Ponca... keep following the black top to the top of the hill and turn right on Marina Drive and back into the race area.
Any problems, call me on my cell (405) 742-4138. I'll be in Ponca Wednesday through the end of the race and will have my cell with me at all times.
