So, I took my 14 year old son to see monster Jam as a surprise, and what a surprise it was! First…read moreit was $5 to park, pretty standard I thought, at this point no complaints. It was a cold , rainy day and for some reason I forgot my umbrella and ponchos. Its my fault for no realizing that the raceway was totally outside. So again , had to pay $5/ea. for paper thin ponchos (one use disposable kind). At this point I'm only mildly annoyed, mostly at myself for not being prepared. Here where my dismay begins- I gave my son a $20 bill so he could get himself a sno-cone and cotton candy, he returned with the cotton candy. I asked him where the sno-cone was and with tears in his eyes started to apologize as he hands me $5 in change! Of course , my next question was how much was the cotton candy. ( There were no signs posted as to price) He told me $15!!!!! Seriously? $15!!!???? -for cotton candy???? Oh I forgot you get a little foam hat shaped like a monster truck ( also disposable). I realize that the vendors are probably separate from the track, but be forewarned, pack a picnic lunch. On the upside I gave the Park two stars because at least the park employees were extremely friendly and helpful. But , IF i decide to return I will steer clear of the vendors, as they are completely scamming you out of money.

I have been to the track several times for the sprint cars, neat track and good racing but the…read morefacilities are terrible. Terrible parking, but the restrooms are the most disgusting I've ever seen. Feces on the floor from backed up toilets, no toilet paper, and the septic overflowing into the driveway you have to walk thru to the entrance of the place. Food preparation is only a few steps from the restrooms, very unsanitary conditions. I wonder if the Board of Health ever checks it out.

I am a Florida native and just went to my first NASCAR Race and it was a wonderful experience…read more For parking they offer a shuttle and while it does take time it's completely free. My kids even enjoyed taking the school bus from the shuttle site. We came to see the Daytona 400 and it was a great experience. Once you arrive at the speedway it is very clean and pristine. Upon first impression we were very impressed with the facility. Security was a smooth transition inside and scanning our ticket was seamless. Once inside you can see that the property is very clean and presentable. The bathrooms were spotless and there are lots of kind associates available to help guide you to your seats. The coolest part about the Daytona races are that they allow you to bring in your own drinks and food and yes that includes adult beverages. Just make sure you follow the strict bag guidelines. I was worried with the allowance of alchohal people would be acting crazy but the crowd was very pleasant and everyone just seem to love watching the races. It does sound pretty loud so I highly recommend bringing your ear buds and protective ear muffs for kids. My kids are ages 4 and 8 and they absolutely loved the experience. It's so exhilarating seeing the cars zoom by. The seats are comfortable enough with leg room and there is even a cup holder in front of you. My only slight complaint for the entire experience is the live display screens. They show the pre-race opening sequences including the opening ceremonies and victory of the race. For people that don't pay for the front center seats it's a little hard to see. There is a live feed but in my opinion it should be bigger. None the less, our family and friends were very happy with the experience and the tvs are the least important part. The racing is the spotlight of the event and that did not dissapoint. One thing that really amazed me was how quickly they clean the road after an accident. They are very safe and on top of things. For the grand finale they also had a incredible fireworks show. Exiting the races to get back to the shuttle was just as simple as arriving and didn't take very long. All in all it was a wonderful experience that our family will cherish forever. If you do want more involvement with the cars or better views you can pay for closer seats and upgrades but the experience is equally fulfilling in all areas.

This review is strictly on the Rockville event they host here…read more Rockville was always a fun event to go to but Unfortunately, every year now the same thing happens... it rains, and they either cancel or evacuate. When they evacuate, the process to get back in is excruciating. A giant line forms when everyone is trying to get back in, and then you start to miss bands you wanted to see. Also, what use to be bands playing for an hour, this year played for 30 min or less. Changes need to happen. And you should start by Changing the date of when this event is held. I can't imagine going back and having to deal with the extreme heat, get rained out shortly after and be uncomfortable the entire festival. I'm sure many others are starting to feel this way.

On April 10,2026 my brother, his daughter and a couple of their friends went to see a champion race…read morecar driver, from " Team Camp in action. Donta is the driver in question. The man won 7 races and have two championships belts. Donta cars are so fast and he is a skilled driver. To no one wanted to lineup against him. He had to race 5 times against himself. Because, he had to challengers. One opponent pulled up to the line against him. Then backed out saying something was wrong with his car. There was 2 brave opponents that did challenge him. But, to no avail. He was just to fast. We were there as his guest. It was such a God given blessed night. The weather was about 70 degrees with a light breeze. The people was so friendly and welcoming. Between races I walked around the park and ran into some of my Masonic Brethren. I ran into business owners, that I grew up with their parents. For instance a business owner name James " psych" Brown of JBW TOTAL SOLUTIONS LLC" of Orlando Florida. This young man is from Clewiston, Florida " The Muck". And he is Big Balling" in Orlando. Team is owned and sponsored by SVB CONSTRUCTION AND MAINTENANCE LLC. I felt like a superstar there at Orlando Speed World. The people was great. We were hanging out with the champ and his family. Champ mom, uncle, sister and friends was part of his team. The were so down to earth. Me myself, love it when you get to see the young people still hanging out and working with there parents and elders. What a great day to be alive!

As someone who lived in Okinawa, Japan, and spent years around some of the best drifting in the…read moreworld, I wasn't sure what to expect from this event. I have to say--I was genuinely impressed. The drifting itself was absolutely incredible. The drivers put on an amazing show, the action was nonstop, and I had an absolute blast. If you're a drifting fan, this event is definitely worth seeing. Unfortunately, the facility itself is a completely different story. The biggest issue was parking. Getting in wasn't terrible, but getting out took nearly 40 minutes. The parking areas were muddy, covered in grass, and swarming with bugs. By the end of the night, I was covered in mud and mosquito bites just from walking to and from my vehicle. Another major frustration was the restroom situation. The facility has permanent restrooms inside the building, yet employees were stationed at the doors preventing paying customers from using them. Instead, everyone was forced to use portable restrooms and restroom trailers that were overwhelmed by the crowd. The lines were incredibly long, and for a venue charging admission, this made no sense at all. Food options were limited and very expensive for what was available. The grandstand seating also needs serious attention. The benches are old, uncomfortable, cramped, and offer no protection from the Florida sun or rain. Everyone was packed together with very little personal space. The sound system was another disappointment. Much of the commentary was difficult or impossible to hear unless you were sitting directly next to a speaker. Then, instead of being clear, it was simply too loud and uncomfortable. What makes all of this frustrating is that the event itself was fantastic. The drifting was exciting, professional, and entertaining from start to finish. The facility, however, feels neglected and badly in need of upgrades. With the crowds these events attract and the money being generated, it would be great to see some investment put back into improving the overall experience for fans. I would absolutely return for another drifting event because the on-track action was that good. I just hope the owners recognize the potential of this venue and make the improvements it desperately needs. The drivers and fans deserve a facility that matches the quality of the show being put on.
