October Saturday event. Booked tickets online, and left with plenty of time to get there. Arrived over 30 minutes early to be greeted with an enormous queue to get it, which was expected as it was a special event. The issue is however that the queue did not move at any speed and this was apparently caused by the car park being full and all other cars parking on the lane to try to get in. By this time i was stuck on the lane and to cut a long story short we could not move anywhere along the lane as the traffic was blocked in both ways. Total and utter dis-organised chaos, there were no marshalls outside to attempt to direct the traffic and we were absolutely stuck and could not moved in either direction. Drivers and passers by were trying to move the traffic if they cold but it was slow going and took over an hour to travel the few hundred yards to the gate where there was one marshal ushering us away (I explained i had tickets and they said sorry contact Spedworth the owners of the event), Another hour later i had eventually got out of the other end of the lane and totally dejected went home after spending nearly fifty pounds for me and the family to sit in the car for two hours (I only live 5 minutes drive away). Ok i thought i will contact Spedworth who hopefully will realise their mistake and compensate the individuals who could not attend due to their lack in judgement in selling way more tickets than the venue can hold. Emailed them twice with absolutely no reply on either occasion, which is just rude and totally unacceptable. I have been going with my family for years to the races, handing over hundreds, if not thousands of pounds in that time to attend their events, but no more, this is just totally unacceptable behaviour on their behalf to not reply to not just organise something so shambolic, but to then not reply to emails which to be fair were very polite and not disrespectful in any way on my behalf. This was and could be a good place to visit, but don't bother unless you enjoy sitting in a traffic jam for 2 hours and then being turned away from the event you have paid for online and then having no communication from the organisers.

My 1st time bk after about 20years. Great racing. Tho not as good as it used to be. Lasted 2hrs.
Thought having to pay £2 to park was a bit of a piss take. Seeing as all ready paid for are tickets online and there was no mention of parking fee.
Will just park out on the road next time. There few laybys on the road outside.

Went with my family of 4... Wife, 2 children and myself... Also some friends came with their children too..
Banger racing and drive what you bring events.. Along with some junior shunt cars.
£40 to get in for family of 4... Was higher than I expected as outside shows £30 but apparently this is speedway events... Would be great to make it clearer. Good options for food available...
After paying £40 please be aware there is also a car parking fee of £2 and to sit covered a further £1 per person.
Anyways, good evening had... Kids enjoyed it and will be back soon.

A night out for something different at coco car and banging racing, it was a great night with 2 and a half hours of action and trophies being presented, the view was great we stood on the final corner of the track which is undercover in case of rain they had a little shop to buy flags hats etc you could get food and also buy a program for the night. The was plenty of parking on the grass just outside the stadium and exiting did not take long at all. We bought our tickets online and there was a separate que for e tickets which got us through quicker a great night will go again when in the area thrilling exciting and some crashes makes a good night

Having been to quite a few stock car tracks I have to say Arlington is my fave. Good viewing locations close to the track. Seated grandstand if you prefer. Good bar as well as the usual burger locations etc. Sport is always entertaining and good for the whole family except for little kids I would say. Paying for the car park is a little cheeky in my opinion but hey ho.

When the weather is right this is a great place to go.
The stock cars and bangers are not cheap unfortunately to take a family which is a shame but well worth a yearly visit..
The speedway is well worth going for a visit tho and is nowhere near as expensive
