    Not too bad for a small town dirt track. The only advice I would give is don't sit too close because you will get mud thrown on you.

    Florence Motor Speedway

    Florence Motor Speedway was just bought out by racing family from Myrtle Beach. They have a lot of…read morethings to improve upon and I look forward to seeing those changes implemented as business picks up and that cash flow leads to changes. I recognize my own bias because it seems like Florida tracks (whether it's Daytona International Speedway for NASCAR or New Smyrna for late models or Volusia for dirt track racing) have spoiled me. I drove up from FL for the SC 400 to see Dale race. This was by far the biggest crowd this place had ever seen and they oversold, so it was standing room only. I managed to get a spot on the bleachers which are in bad need of replacement and paving in the surrounding area. It was very difficult for people to navigate because the seats are so tightly clumped together that knees are in everyones' backs and if you dropped something or it fell into the abyss beneath the bleachers, there was no room to retrieve it. This place obviously does not see this kind of crowd regularly, but these seats are a pain regardless if it's a full house or not. The concessions need more line points, but I did like that alcohol/snacks and food/drinks were separated. They had 2 food trucks on the premesis for this race and I think they should definitely bring in more. Merch area was good but they seemed to be running behind schedule for setting a lot of stuff up, so cars going through the pedestrian area while trying to look at/buy merch was frustrating for both drivers and patrons. A new addition to this track (inevitably purchased due to new ownership or the influx that Dale brought in) was the stage used for driver intros and awards at the end of the night. It seemed flashy and I hope that future investments will be put towards improvements for the fan experience, but I understand that this stage is a great way to obtain sponsorship money and maybe bring in new race fans. Regarding this race in particular, they should make sure that they don't oversell and figure out parking so that cars don't line for incoming road and overflow into surrounding businesses for 1+ mile around.

    We ride here often, not sure if this place will be around in the long term. They have booked and…read morecancelled the Field & Stream musical festival two years in a row. Leading up to that, we have seen some improvement to some of the trails but not all of them. Some of the trails are pretty much impassable at this point and could be closed. For this past Halloween duck hunt event, it was publicized as including an after ride party with live music. There was no live music either night, and the bar was not open. No liquor license renewed, so no bar. For some in our group, this was a major disappointment. They are currently looking at other options for holiday bookings for our riding group where more amenities will be consistently available.

    I would have rated this place five stars, but the second day we were there. There was several miles…read morelong of traffic and they were not directing people appropriately, from what I would have thought. The day before they told us we could go to the left side to pass everyone since we already had our passes. I believe the weekends they have the night ride is when it's super crowded like this. We had a lot of fun and there were thousands of people there. The only thing I did not like was like I said the traffic. They should've had a dedicated lane for people who already had passes although we rode past everyone as soon as we get off the highway on a two-lane road and we're able to get in after about 15 minutes there were people that had been in line for three hours that we actually knew that did not do what we did. So that's one downside. Another was ordering the food was quick, but it took 15 minutes for an order of fries to come out. There was only one line so that was another thing where they should've had it split and had two people on the register if possible, but other than that, it was an overall great experience. I would definitely go back, but maybe not during a weekend there is a night ride because it was so crowded. We decided to leave and not do the night ride which was the whole reason we actually had went Unfortunately, someone actually lost their life this past weekend while we were there. I'm not sure all of the details but I did see their body laying on the ground, which was a bit disturbing so I will not go into details out of respect for the person in their family. Another thing I noticed was that all of the other ATV places we've gone to there is a rule if you are on a four wheeler or dirtbike you have to have a helmet. Apparently this rule is not enforced here because there were several people who were on four wheelers and dirt bikes, and no one had on helmets! And the side-by-side or ATVs of course it's not required, but I would imagine being on a four wheeler or a dirtbike it's strictly enforced whether you're on a trail or on the road in the parking lot. And unfortunately, the person who lost their life was on a four wheeler and they did not have a helmet.
