It was something different for my son…read moreand me to experience together, and we went to support a family friend who races in the high school league. It is pretty cool that students can now letter in racing as a sport. The atmosphere was fun, the food was good, the beer was inexpensive, and admission was reasonably priced. The seating could use a little fresh paint and some tightening up, but overall, it was a great summer outing. If you have never been, it is worth going at least once--grab some food, cheer on the racers, and have fun!

It is a high banked 1/2 mile track that continues to improve as time goes on. The racing has always been great, the track had hit some low spots in the past with different owners. Now the last few have improved the facilities greatly. The racing is still great. They offer a number of different classes and normally put on a good show. Many of the Wisconsin drivers that raced here early in their career have gone on to the national series.

The race ended right on the water and all runners over 21 could enjoy a post race beer right on the terrace. We got to relax and enjoy a drink while listening to live music. All 5 runners do get an awesome medal! Parking is a little hard but try to park in a parking structure near the start line. I think I paid $5 in total. After the race, it was great to experience the worlds largest farmers market down in the square - don't miss it!

Madison Mini-Marathon is what I wish the Madison Marathon was like…read more It's unfortunately run by a group in Indiana rather than a local organization or chamber of commerce, but it's hard to resist this race regardless. Their race course was so well planned out. It hits all the highlights of Madison and ends with a beer on the terrace. It's by far my favorite half marathon in the Madison neighborhood. The half marathon starts at the Memorial Union terrace, runs up Langdon past Frat Row, cuts over to the Capitol via Wisconsin Ave, gets you a nice view of the Farmer's Market in the summer before sending you down State Street. Southwest bike trail, Picnic point, Lakeshore Path, UW Arboretum, and ending back at the Memorial union are all highlights of this course. I really enjoy that the medal doubles as a bottle opener in true Wisconsin fashion. The course is relatively flat. The race is in August so there's always a danger of hot temperatures but it's been in the 60s at the start the last couple of years. Many things about this race reads like a love letter to Madison. Parking is not so easy. But I live in Madison so I sort of knew the ins and outs. Might be tough for out of towners. There's also a 5k event and I believe they also give out medals for that.

In New Jersey, we lost 3 great dirt tracks for this very same reason; town's population grew and…read moremoved into areas that became closer to the tracks. Our famous track, Flemington Fair Speedway, the country's fastest 5/8 mile D-shaped dirt track is now gone (1915 to 2002). Flemington grew and property became more expensive. The track's property, once out in the middle of farm fields, became more expensive, property taxes raised, so the track closed so Flemington could build a multi-use town center and a Loews on the property. Most of our dirt tracks were once in the middle of nowhere, then the towns kept creeping closer and closer to the tracks. Original home owners couldn't complain about the noise, but the 2nd owner of the houses can. And did. New York state, Connecticut, Maryland tracks all suffered. Same with Ascot Park in LA.

They were minimally staffed in the upstairs area which includes arcades, billiards, a bar, and dining. I think they had one person working the whole area. He was great though and did what he could.

She didn't end up making it, but the staff was able to give me a more than fair equivalent for the Academy tuition, already above and beyond just at the check in expereince! Academy started in the classroom to learn the basics. Surprisingly, the information dump was not overwhelming and we were lead to the track for a warm up so the staff can study our pre-existing driving habits. At the academy, individual strengths and weaknesses were identified and we got LOTS of laps to practice. I was physically sweaty and tired by the time we finished! I look forward to bringing my daughter back!

We went to Dell's Raceway Park for the first time last night while celebrating my dad's 75th…read morebirthday, and honestly, I'm sad it took us this many years to finally go! My parents have lived in the area for years, and we've always heard the cars from a distance but never made it out to the racetrack. I'm so glad we finally did. It was such a fun night for our whole family, including two toddlers. According to their website, kids five and under are free, which made it even better. They also offer discounted senior tickets, which was only a couple dollars off, but every bit counts and it was appreciated. The cars are loud, so I definitely recommend bringing noise-canceling headphones for little ones or anyone sensitive to sound. We brought headphones for the kids and my parents, and earplugs for ourselves. They also had inexpensive earplugs available in the store, which was great. The atmosphere is casual, fun, and family-friendly. It's not a fancy raceway, so I wouldn't go in expecting anything overly polished or upscale, but that's part of what made it so enjoyable. It felt like a relaxed, relatively inexpensive, easygoing night out. There is bleacher seating and lawn seating, and there really isn't a bad seat in the raceway. I noticed the regulars brought portable/camping chairs, so I would definitely recommend bringing those, along with blankets and maybe an umbrella depending on the weather. It rained the night we went, and they did pause for a rain delay. There isn't much covered space to hang out during rain, but you can head back to your car until it slows down. Food and drinks were reasonably priced, including beer, which was a pleasant surprise. My dad has some trouble walking, but we were able to find a good spot where he could be comfortable and still see everything. Overall, this was such a fun experience for all ages. The kids had a blast, my dad enjoyed his birthday outing, and we cannot wait to go again. Since it is seasonal, I would definitely make it a to-do item while you can.

One of the highlights was hitting the racetrack at Dells Raceway Park. Let me tell you, everyone had an amazing time zooming around the track. There were new Fiats, classic ones, and everything in between, and everyone loved being on the track. A lot of folks enjoyed getting multiple turns driving with different passengers who wanted to experience the ride but didn't necessarily want to take the wheel. The staff were awesome to work with while we were there. I totally recommend checking out Dells Raceway Park!

Highly recommend holding a baby goat if you can!! We also enjoyed corn hole, the "corn pit", kids playsets, and the jump pads.
