    Call the Brink's truck! We spent the day with friends at the race track and what a fun Sunday it was at Ellis Park! Ellis Park was our home track before we moved to Louisville and fell under the magical spell of Churchill Downs! We went back today to watch one of our horses run and it seems that nothing has changed. Ellis Park has an old fashioned fair atmosphere. There are beer gardens and food booths but let's remember we are here to see the thoroughbreds run! The paddock is to the far left of the tote board and allows an early look at the horses before they are saddled and paraded onto the track. The winner's circle is directly front and center and the coveted place all thoroughbred owners desire to be at the end of a race. There are outdoor beer gardens and picnic tables on the grass with umbrellas to shade you from the sun. We reserved a table in our favorite spot which is the Sky Theatre. The Sky Theatre is air conditioned (a necessity in the hot humid Kentucky racing weather) and features a full buffet along with a small a la carte menu. We were in the front row on the glass at the finish line so it doesn't get much better as far as the view. The Sky Theatre is elevated so you have a bird's-eye view of the entire "Pea Patch" as Ellis is affectionately known (crops are actually grown in the infield). Sky Theatre tables also have tvs so you can catch the replays and get the all-important payout information!!! Ellis Park is a fun spot to watch the ponies and visit with friends and of course CASH TICKETS!!!!!

    Very good track in the Tri State! Gets very interesting coming thru and out of here and good…read moreconcessions and nice people around here! Definitely a 5/5! Thanks Tri State Speedway for making this a fun and interesting speedway!

    Went to Tri State Speedway last night and had a great time! Went with a group of friends and…read morewatched live racing. The warm ups started around 6:30PM, racing started at 7:30PM, and ended around 10PM. Tickets were roughly $20-25 for adults, which may seem like a lot, but you are at the track for a long time and you can bring in a small cooler, which will help you save on food and beer money. Students 12-18 were $15-20 and kids 12 and under were free. Ticket prices vary depend on the event. You can bring your cooler, or you can grab food at the concession stand. They serve hamburgers, cheeseburgers, chicken fingers, hot dogs, and fries. The line moves pretty fast, each window has a holding container and you can just grab what you like as you go through. They didn't put a ton of food out at a time, so food was not just sitting there. I got a double cheeseburger and fries which tasted pretty good and were both fresh. They have ketchup, mustard, onions and pickles at a condiment station. I'm not a huge racing fan, but I really enjoyed myself. It was exciting and the fans are really in to it. Good family fun, not far from Evansville, IN. Tips- you will definitely want to bring some earplugs or other ear protection, a cooler with food and drinks, and cash.

    They pick and choose who gets the good karts. If you're a woman, good luck. You'll be surrounded by…read morejerks who ram into you like it's NASCAR. Your driving feels like it doesn't matter because their cars are always so much faster. You can't even work to keep your position because they'll just ram you into the wall. It's not fun. My times were excellent considering I was driving a brick. I was invisible. If you want bumper cars, this is the place. You want to race? Go literally anywhere else.

    Its true they choose your kart, but they send you off to the karts up front of the line of karts so…read morethey can't really choose who gets good karts. Not all of the karts where created the same some are faster than others, OR the other driver might be better at controlling the kart. When putting you in races they kept me within my party of people only allowing one other rider that was alone to be our group. The staff was not mean to us at all and made it so in between races we got more rest and where not back-to back, by putting the next race up Infront of ours. The staff would help anyone who got stuck and helped put of gear if needed. They make sure any new riders watch a video of the rules of the track and how to work the karts. The arcade is a nice way to pass time if your not riding or if you are waiting to ride. They have seating for if you are watching the track. They will also call out your heat when you are up and ready to go down to the track. There might be people who will run into you but that will just be the people who are there that day and is not the Baden's Karting's fault if you get hit by another rider. The two problem I had faced there was my knees would hit the stirring wheel and I now have bruises. The other one was the seat belts kept getting jammed, but the staff would help if that happened.
