Two wheel struggle
Sam S.

My family and I love this place. We are able to drive on one of the best tracks in the United States and they always have me covered with parts when my skill lacks.

I don't think these hours are correct. Two days in a row I've been here at the wrong time.

I want to like this place because it seems super awesome. However, I checked their website schedule which stated the driving clinic was every Saturday at 0800. There was nothing indicating differently, and it was still on the schedule. Being that I actually had today off I got up early to give it a shot. I arrived to find myself sitting there alone with nobody else in the lot. At 0800 I checked the door and it was locked and nobody was inside that I could see. It's quite a drive to get here for me and I really wanted to do the beginner class to get at least some idea of what to do. I'll be back, but I really hope subsequent experiences are better. Please, if you're not going to have the driving clinic don't have it on your schedule on the website. Update: I actually went today and was able to drive. There were a ton of people there. It became a cluster at times and they had to do five minute practice rotations. But, holy CRAP! It was so much fun. I'll be back for sure.

So much FUN! I brought my 2 boys here after months of nagging. The guys working there were very helpful and friendly. We rented 2 rc cars for $25 each. The cars were great! Super fast. Easy to control. And the boys had such a good time. They had a little spot in the back where they could practice driving the cars before they took them out to the track. An additional battery is $10, so I got one. The boys had a great time we will come here again. They say you can bring any car and race it on the track, and if your car gets hung up just go out to the track and unhang it. spectating is really fun. The track is well maintained and we liked it

A bumpy start for our first time so here's my advice. Call before you show up (probably a day or two in advance so you can plan what you want to do). The info on the web page isn't really reflective of what's going on there. I planned to bring my son here for his 12th bday so we could both rent cars and race during practice time. When we arrived we found out they no longer do rentals and you need to bring your own RC car. I had tried calling a number of times the hour before we got there but the phone was busy every time. It could have been an epic bday mom fail but the guys put together a car that was being worked on and let us use that - so thankful! We stood in the middle of the track so when he flipped his car (which was quite a bit in the beginning) we'd flip it back over. It's warm in there but they have fans and cold drinks for purchase. The staff were laid back and the mgr/owner? gave us a bday hookup (probably for the phone and website issues) when we left so we were pleasantly surprised by that. Now my son wants to go back and watch their race nights...and my fiancé and I want to do a fun date night there

If you're an R/C guy or gal you should check this place out. Indoor venue with "almost" Nascar quality pit areas complete with power outlets and more to work on your buggy etc. I wish they had a place like this in the Seattle area in the 90's...I'd probably be working and living there!

Thank you Travis you the man. About to build my TLR 22 4.0

Went in today to take a look and brought a new RC truck! There indoor track is bad ass and the knowledge of the industry is amazing. Advised me on what I needed and said if I have any trouble setting up my new rid they would help me free of charge. Customer service goes along way with me and they def have it. Thanks guys see you soon!

Top notch facility & track. Visited here from OC while on a business trip. Excellent pit spaces, consistent track grooming (auto misters & lawn blowers every hour or so). Fully stocked pro shop & friendly staff. Cleanest track I've ever been to. (No mud or dirt everywhere off track/restrooms/pits etc)

My b5m I I assembled and built at the track.

It becomes addicting to run a RC car on a track, learning the course and getting better each time.

Del Mar Racetrack is a must when visiting San Diego and is such a fun experience. My friends and I usually take the Amtrak train from Orange County to Del Mar station, they have shuttles to take you from the train to the venue for free which is nice. Dress to impress as well, they have a dress code but not too many people follow it. Some people go all out with suits, dresses and fancy dress wear. Tickets are affordable and they have a variety of ticket packages to choose from, we usually sit in GA area. As for the venue itself, its beautiful from the outside and the track is well maintained. If you look from the balcony, you can see the ocean! It's pretty confusing in my opinion to navigate each floor and where to find food concessions. They need to upgrade the building and rennovate the interior. The food here isn't too good but Tanner's Prime Burgers is a must. Betting is also confusing so I would recommend looking up a Youtube vid or ask some people around the stadium on how to do it. When in doubt, hammer Fresu, Rispoli, Berrios or Hernandez!

After parking, completing registration, and waiting in line (10+ mins), I was finally informed--after a long delay--that my son wouldn't be able to ride for at least "a couple of hours." At no point was there signage or staff to communicate the wait time, leaving us standing in line with no information. This lack of transparency and service made for a frustrating and unacceptable experience. I lost a good 30 minutes of my day, and on top of that, I had to tell my 7 year old that we could not ride a go kart today and left extremely disappointed your location. Which by the way, is not easy to get to and it is definitely not in the friendliest part of town. A long drive, a long wait, indifferent customer service and no go kart riding made for a forgettable experience. I hope you take this feedback seriously and make necessary improvements to ensure future visitors receive clear communication and better service. I'd appreciate a response regarding how you plan to address these concerns.

Hahaha, because for some reason, as a little girl, I thought I was going to be a NASCAR driver - so I guess my hour of fame finally came true! I got to experience this through a company event, and it was 1000% everything I dreamed it would be. I had a mix of emotions but loved every single moment! The instructors were super cool, thorough, and made me feel completely safe and confident throughout the experience. The cars were top-notch and so much fun to race on the track - I would totally recommend this for special events or just to treat yourself to an unforgettable experience. I'm telling you, the adrenaline and rush from these babies on the track made me want to buy a BMW right then and there! This is the perfect experience for any race car lover, fast driver, or anyone who's into cars. The grand finale was awesome too - they show you all your times and who was the fastest in the group. Honestly, the whole experience was just amazing!

Man, I really wanted to like this place, but after my first visit to see the Monster Truck Wars, I…read moream not sure I will ever go back. This review is specifically for the Monster Truck War event. Tickets were so much cheaper than the Monster Jam, so it was very appealing to take my son. I purchased the $40 VIP ticket. A complete waste of money. There was nothing VIP about our experience. There was no reserved seating. The ticket was supposed to get you into the Pit Party a little early and early to grab your seats. The problem was there was no one checking tickets, so everyone arriving at the same time was going into the pit party and saving their seats in the front rows. I could have had my same seats and go to the pit party with a regular $15 ticket and no one would have known the difference. They were doing rides on Monster Trucks. We were standing in line and the announcer kept promoting the rides on the loud speakers for $15 a person. When we got our chance to ride, we were told it was $20 and that the announcer was wrong. The announcer literally said $15 again while I was questioning it, at I was told it's $20 no expections. If you have a wheel chair or a stroller, good luck. Everything is dirt and broken asphalt in all of the seating and walking areas. If you are in the seats closet to the track, it's the worst. Very hard to walk without falling. The Monster Truck show it's self was ok, except for the cloud of dust that covered the seats when they did donuts. Be sure to cover your face. Overall, it was just not enjoyable. I would rather spend the extra money to watch the Monster Trucks at Snap Dragon next time they are here.

Parking was a little confusing since you had to make your own spot as it got super crowded at one point but thankfully it wasn't an issue since we left plenty of time.

My only complaint for Spartan is they didn't have more places for shade because it got pretty toasty at 80 degrees. Otherwise, it was a great location and a great set up for a race!

We actually left before the race was even over, yet it still took us nearly four hours just to get out of the parking lot. During that entire time, I only saw one person directing traffic. For an event drawing this many people, there clearly needs to be a better plan for parking lot management and exit flow. The parking lot itself became a chaotic, jam-packed standstill. What was even more concerning was the number of kids and young people I witnessed openly snorting what appeared to be cocaine while everyone was stuck waiting to leave. Seeing that kind of behavior taking place so openly was shocking and created an uncomfortable atmosphere for families and other spectators. The racing may have been good, but the lack of traffic management and the concerning behavior I observed in the parking areas made this a disappointing experience overall. Significant improvements are needed before I would consider attending another event here.
