I really enjoyed visiting this race track. I mean I really had fun. It's managed by some friendly…read morepeople that know what they are doing. It gets a solid 4 stars based on parking, facilities, concession stands, view of track, accessibility, food, and entertainment. I had no problems parking at the race track. It's pretty much self parking. You just drive up and park wherever you want. I really liked this. They facilities there where you can wash your hands and if course bathrooms. They even paper towels to dry off your hands and a neat little laundry basket to throw them in. The concession stands had long lines at them at intermission and breaks between races. So, I recommend getting in a short line when a race starts that you are not interested in. I could see the whole track from where I was sitting. There were no blind spots on the back stretch either as I could see the race card over there too. It was easy to enter the race track as well as being pretty much kind a easy leaving the race track. There is a stop sign down the road that causes a little traffic problem but nothing more than a couple minutes. The food at the race track was great too. They have nachos and cheese for $5 and their hot dogs are delicious. I also got a pickle that was mouth watering. Entertainment: The races were entertaining. I enjoyed all the races here. They had super Late models which is was I like, modified late models and "U car" race cars here on the night that I attended which was Saturday, March 23rd, 2019.

nice little mom and pop shop in central Virginia directly on the beaten path but still a…read moresignificant ways out of the way regardless. after dropping the cutest of chicks off at CLT to go to FLA I have the rest of the afternoon to try to stay out of trouble... it's just a couple hours to get here and I get to meet some new faces and go roundy round for a couple bucks. the raceway is currently housed in a simple building on highway 460 just west of Appomattox with SLOT CAR RACING spelled out in 24-inch letters. yeah, totally subtle... current tracks include road, oval, and straight line. I will generally drive the road courses when I'm out because it's all driver-vs-track with up to seven other contests going on at roughly the same time... high banks mean high speed and the Gerding King road course is both. even the main straight is tilty! thought my car was going to slide off the track when I set it down on orange; it was moving sort of slideways and hanging on the guide as I started my first lap because the tilt is that aggressive! felt totally out classed and way out of my league for a long minute... but that brief bit of uncertainty makes Mach 1 stand out for me and the need to stay fast all the way around builds character - the skill part is knowing when to "fast" and when to brake. drags and ovals are generally better with a couple other racers to taunt and tease and are usually populated by a dedicated and friendly group on race day. circle track racers are a peaceful and happy people, but like all 'cults' it can take up a good deal of your time and resources ;-) Mach 1 has what it takes to get you on the track and keep you there: they have rentals to get you started or you can pick up ready to drive or build-it-yourself cars in your choice of styles and colors, plus parts and accessories to personalize whatever it is you decide to run. I have a basic factory built that can mostly keep up. I'm not likely to win any serious competition but I'm on the track here and there and elsewhere primarily for the adventure...

Great big race track way out in the middle of no where. I mean it's way out in the country…read more However, it's a pretty good size too. I wanted to go to a race track this weekend to watch drag racing. The advertising "flyer" on Facebook mentioned motorcycle rally but it also said drag racing. Advertising: So, I thought I would see motorcycles and cars drag racing. The flyer also said dirt drag races too. On Scene: Approaching race track, I saw signs that said spectators entrance to the right of race track. I parked close by gate and walked to entrance where I paid $20. Ticket counter sales person said I could catch shuttle that would take me closer to grandstands. She also said shuttle would bring me back as it will be making continuous trips. However, I had to walk all the way back to back main entrance after waiting 30 minutes for him in the hot sun. However, Shuttle operator just parked shuttle at main back entrance and got off and was talking to his friends instead of working. I told Ticket operators about this and she says "sorry". She said racing will start up again in a couple hours since it was so hot. So, I left and went back to hotel and told her I will be back in a couple hours. On Scene 2nd time: So, I came back a couple hours later around 7pm when the sun was going down and it was cooler. I showed my arm band which I kept on my wrist so I wouldn't have to pay admission again. Again, shuttle operators not on shuttle. He yelled out get on shuttle and " I will be over there in a second". He finally came but with an attitude this time. He got in drivers seat and turned toward me and said let me call track owner and see if she will let you drive to grandstand area. He came back and said I could. So, I walk back to truck and go through gate showing my arm band. For the first time ever, I saw the Hells Angels motorcycle club at the same place I was. They were selling their stuff and riding their motorcycles which was I thought was pretty cool. I have always wanted to ride motorcycles. So, I have an Interest in motorcycles as I have a motorcycle endorsement on my license. In summary, there was no dirt track drag racing, no race car drag racing and only a few drag races between motorcycles. I did have a good time but I thought it would be better if there had been race car drag races which I was led to believe they were having. Final Thoughts: I will be back for drag races another day. When I do, I might update my experience at that time. So, I might come back. We will just have to wait and see.

My family and I went to the opening night on 3/25/16. We had an amazing time. The younger ones on…read moreour group were super excited and got to see many types of cars and bikes and ate hotdogs, pizza and chicken sandwich. The older ones in our group signed up to race on the street car and had a blast. For only $20 you can enter your street car, or $10 to get in just to watch. It was the most fun we had in a long time around here. I would recommend to anyone specially since there is not much to do around this area.

This being my first time to a speedway race track, I would like to offer a few observations:…read more- Bring your own beer - Some of the hardest arena seats I have sat on, bring a cusion - 125 laps, the race started with 25 cars, at the end there were ony 12 left - Hardly any cover when it rains, and it rained a lot - The machine they use to dry the tracks is so small, its like drying a mile of wet road with a hair dryer - A lot of families - It's Loud! Bring ear plugs - I never thought I would say this, but the urinals at Penn Station are no longer the worst restroom faciities I have seen

The facility was larger than I expected. 3/8 mile fast track. Some great races. Although when we…read morewere looking at the track itself, it looks like it needs some desperate repair. There are lots of wide cracks in the pavement. We paid $20 for parking and we were given 2 free tickets to get in. I thought it was a little different. They have a six pack maximum you can bring in and the sign said the cooler had to be no larger than 12in x 12in but we saw people that had slightly larger coolers. Be prepared to wait in line for food and beer. I.giggled at the sign on the side of the food stand because it said "fast food." There was nothing fast about it. Although it appeared the workers were working very hard...I just don't think they could cook and fry as quick as demanded. Instead of sitting in the bleachers, I think next time I will take my chair and sit along turn 3.
