Just started going here again after taking quite a few years off. What a terrible decision I've made. Last week was a 75 lap race and demo derby. Awesome! Nope. Gates open at 5 but there is so much other time wasting nonsense that the race didn't end until almost midnight. We left at 12 and skipped the demo derby. That is just too late and too long to keep kids busy without spending gobs of money on food and gear (which is probably the point).
Skip to this week. K&N Pro Series race. Gates open early again, 4 or 5. We are there ready to roll. Qualifying is going well but they then take the time to line up the cars and invite the public down to the track. Ok. Should doing this before or after the driving starts but whatever. It starts to rain bad. Can't prevent that. There is a considerable delay but the announcer keeps saying they are going to continue. Then nothing. No updates as the rain continues to pour. The only thing announced is that there is food and drinks for sale still. Skip ahead to about 7:45PM. The weather is clear and the track is pretty dry. Main event was scheduled for 8:15 (too late for a 150 lap race but whatever), so this thing has a chance! Then they invite the public down to the track again....... are you kidding me?? Almost no one goes because this is beyond stupid when it's 8PM, rainy, 45 degrees, and we have yet to see a single minute of actual racing. So, they get the cars going. All 22 are fired up, in motion, and it isn't that far past the scheduled start time. And then they wave the yellow flag.... for hundreds of laps... and 2 hours. At 10:30PM the race had not started yet. I asked for my money back (which they did) and left.
This place is not managed well at all. The communication is pathetic, it's a clear money grab for concessions, and the track and stands are in such bad shape there are warning signs to not walk near the edge because it might collapse. I will probably go back because it's the only option but I will not show up until 7 at least because screw this place keeping you captive for hours and not lwtting you bring your own food. read more
