Hubby & I came to Black Hills Raceway during Sturgis Rally going on now. They are having an AFT Race. I went to get an Beer & there were only 2 LINES. And those two beer stations had 1 PERSON working at each. 1 of the stations was a beer cart with 6 tubs & the poor girl working could not keep up, as she had to put beer in the ice from the 12 packs laying laying on the pavement. ( Ithink you get the picture) For an AFT Event, I guess I expected things to be a bit more organized, so things run smoothly. And I heard A LOT of comments which were very negative. I hope next year is more organized than this year, since you have a whole year to plan. Sincerely, Nancy read more

I know this is a dirt track but.......the dust was inexcusable to say the least. Had to leave early because one third of the track could not be seen we were also covered in dust. For a special event like the Sprint Cars I thought it would be more prep on the track. There are a lot of good examples around the country of dirt track maintenance. Maybe it's too expensive. Loved the facility but not the dust. Sorry. read more

I love going to races but I've never been to a Sprint Car race on dirt before so when we were driving around Rapid City and heard on the radio that there was a race at the Black Hills Speedway that night. I knew that we found something fun to do since we were staying in Rapid that night. We got there and they were starting the heats. Parking was free and easy, right on the grass. Beers were three dollars for 12oz cans and Bud Light seemed to be the drink of choice. I had my koozie with me so my beer stayed cold and my hand stayed dry. The track is over 60 years old and the bleachers were a bit worn. It was very old school, low/no tech and simple and I loved it. There were a lot of families there enjoying a Friday night at the races. Unfortunately, it started to rain and there was a lot of lightning so the action on the track was suspended until the rain stopped. Some people left but we stayed and chilled out under the overhang until the rain stopped and the action resumed on the track. Those Sprint cars were so fast. It was awesome. It was a great race. There was some great passing and we were covered with a thin layer of dirt by the end of the race. We loved the whole experience. I can't wait to come back to this track again. read more

See all

As a driver myself this place is amazing! It's a nice 1/2 mile track with excellent staff and crews! The keep their drivers happy the best they can and they are amazing! As a spectator it's great live action! You can see pretty much everything on the track from any seat in the stands! They have outdoor bleachers and stadium seats. They also have concrete flats at the top of the stands to bring a bag chair and sit there. They also have an indoor "crows nest" with a complete bar and large windows to see every second of the fast action. Overall it's a great facility with a great staff and a fun place to spend your Friday night! read more
