I wanted very much to give this experience a higher rating than 3 stars. Let's talk about how the…read morerating was arrived at. I prefer to be positive, and so I assume that every establishment starts off with a 5 star rating and has to work hard to knock itself down. 7:15AM: Arrive at New Hampshire Motor Speedway a little earlier than anticipated. Buzzing with excitement. Even driving in the underpass to the track is thrilling. Unfortunately, Rusty Wallace loses 0.5 stars for absolutely shitty signage. It's confusing as to how the heck I'm supposed to find out where I am going, and I worried about accidentally driving the rental car onto the actual race track. Now that I think about it, racing a Kia rental may not have been such a bad thing. So we're at 4.5* now. 7:35AM: Checking in, and realize the whole process is a sales pitch. I suspect this might be how a person feels if they walk into a car dealership and announce that they want to spend lots of money. You are "strongly encouraged" to purchase many add-ons. From extra laps (if I wanted extra laps, I'd have purchased them when I bought my initial package), to an insurance package (they will remind you many times how costly a wreck might be... but forget to point out how many out clauses they give themselves in the insurance package so they won't have to pay up if you wreck), to ride-alongs (because "without one, you won't know what you're doing"). Minus 0.5* there. We're at 4*. 7:50AM: I get suckered into purchasing the in-dash video package. I am informed that the package costs $59 when the information emailed to me indicates that it is $49. The staff member tells me it is because they just added in "new video equipment" which is why the price may be higher. Umm, how about I call bullshit? I got your email 2 days before. I don't think you just installed a video system. Upon presenting the email, she drops the price to $49. I love it when a business makes up arbitrary prices. Minus 1* there. Now at 3*. 8:30AM: The training session is supposed to start at 8AM, but because they are understaffed, everyone sits and waits and waits. Minus 0.5*. 2.5* now. 9:45AM: Finally get out onto the track and race. The experience is everything that you expect it to be and more. An incredible thrill. Plus 1* to 3.5*. Remember the original issue of signage? Well the on-track signage sucks shit too. Rusty Wallace couldn't spring for an extra pylon or two to make it clear where you're supposed to brake? Or another roll of pink tape to mark the passing lanes? Seriously, when I'm driving a NASCAR vehicle, and pissing my pants because I'm afraid of driving into a wall, the last thing I want to worry about is if I can spot the single orange pylon (that is scuffed up, and is now mostly black and camouflages itself nicely with the racetrack wall) to know where I should brake. Minus 0.5* to 3*. So there you have it. 3*. Which is unfortunate because the driving itself was fan-fucking-tastic and would be a 5* by itself.

Met Jimmy and his Dad Mike from Cincinnati. Jimmy drove and his dad got me dressed and helmeted.

Great Eastern Radio Group here in NH and VT can help. We carry NASCAR and have 20 stations within 90 minutes of the track. Give me a call. Bob Sherman 603-558-8000.

Get right up by the start/finish line and you can meet the drivers after the races as well. Qualifying races are 10 laps and the main events are 25.... you'll get to see 10-15 races so for the $15 entry ticket that's a steal ($1/race). There's a beer tent where you can watch the race between turn 3 and 4. Perfect event for the kids as well. In addition to the racing there's a playground when they need a break from the left turns as well. Concessions are reasonably priced.

There is limited runoff in most areas, which makes it more intimidating to really push the cars. They weren't doing a good job of sweeping the track... in fact I don't think the truck went out to sweep all weekend. There was a lot of rubber on the track off line which was a little annoying. Note: Cell reception is poor Gas prices at the track are jacked up majorly, but a Mobil with more reasonable prices is not too far

I ordered a meal that was supposed to come with beer but they didn't have any, the bathrooms weren't cleaned and there was tissue everywhere and soap dispensers were empty. It can use some updating.

We emailed and called a few times with no response over a couple days. So we decided to show up! There was a group of 11. It took forever to pay. The deal we wanted wasn't available because the kitchen was CLOSED!!! Are you kidding me. We were told it was closed because of a staff shortage. But they WERE making food for other people. When I asked they said it's because it was for a group reservation. (I'm not a rude customer) so I accepted and walked away. We waited 2 hours before we were able to race. And 20-30 min between our 3 races. We were there from 6-10pm They allowed us to get the $70 deal and added more gaming points to cards to cover the food. (I thought was pretty fair in the moment) after playing the games. Which by the way does not have a pool table as stated online, we went to the counter to get prizes. Well that didn't work out well either as the cards did not count the points earned!!! The man behind the counter was pretty fair and nice to the littles with points. ALOT of the games were also out of order. The racing was fun and fair. That part was good! The bathroom was clean too. Overall it didn't seem to be the employees fault but the management and reservation system that made our visit a little uneasy. Would we return during our next visit,? no. We'd try out F1 instead.

Since we got the groupon deal, every course was unlimited except the go kart. We enjoyed every course they offer, except maybe the mini golf. Looked like they are renovating another golf course, and building a new course. The flooring was uneven at the mini golf course. But the kids still enjoyed the mini golf course. The batting cage was a good too. It was fun for kids who like baseball or just hitting the ball because the machine spits baseball/softball out at you. The machine might not be in the best condition but we did make the best out of it. The laser tag was in a small building and we had fun in there. They are pretty good about letting you stay in there longer if no one is around. The go kart was really fun. It felt like the speed was set, and you cannot really go too fast. You also get one free med ice cream with one topping from the groupon. It was too much for 2 people to share that one med ice cream, so we claimed 2 ice creams at a time for 4 of us to share. All four of us enjoyed Mel's Funway. We were there for almost a whole day taking advantage of our unlimited everything. So instead of driving elsewhere for lunch, we ate at the diner there. Surprisingly the food is not bad. We had the stuffed tater tots and it was really good. We shared the ruben and it was not bad. The kids shared a chicken tender meal. Their french fries are good. If we are to go back there again, we will probably get their seafood; it looked like they gave you a big portion.

My granddaughter so badly…read morewanted to go to Mini-Mel's so we checked the website to see if they are open yet for the season and it said they were open from 12-6PM. See photo of website that I checked today. I even had my wife call them to confirm because it is April 23rd and I wasn't sure if the season started yet. No one answers the phone. They just have a recording saying to check their website for days and hours. So we drove there. The ticket booth had a lighted sign that says, "Open" and listed their hours as Noon - 6PM Monday through Sunday starting April 19th but no one was there and many rides had tarps over them. We walked around looking for someone and finally found a person who worked there. They said they are only open on weekends. My wife explained that she called and no one answers the phone. The person said that we should have checked the website for their hours. She said, "We did and it says you are open." As does the lit up sign at the ticket booth! The person said, "Well all the rides are closed and covered with tarps." Anyway, my granddaughter started crying. She was so disappointed because we had told her all about the rides and bounce house and she had been so excited to go. We couldn't go back on the weekend because she was leaving to go back home to Maine on Friday. This place has gone downhill. This is the second time in the last year that it has been closed when it was supposed to be open and I will not subject my grand kids to this nonsense and disappointment, nor will I give my hard earned money to a company with such poor customer service. Save your money and go someplace where they will treat you right!

We wished that the museum was bigger, but we enjoyed visiting and felt like we got our money's worth. The museum is near the New Hampshire Motor Speedway's south entrance.

The arcade itself was pretty underwhelming. The game selection felt limited compared to other arcades in the area, almost like it isn't a major focus of the venue since the plaza offers so many other activities such at go karts, bowling and laser tag. The staff members we interacted with were all friendly, which was a definite plus. Overall, I don't think I'd go out of my way to return as there are other venues at more convenient locations to me that offer similar services.
