This is not a huge venue. Though it does give amateur racing enthusiasts a a good chance to see what's available to see without getting ripped off. The ticket cost was reasonable as were the concessions. A fun evening for family and/or friends

We used to frequent the track with the kids, but because beer and racing don't mix it has been less enjoyable when beers are being thrown at the racers. The track should consider stopping the sale of alcohol unless they don't want the racetrack to be family oriented.

It is a smaller race track compare to others we have been to , however we enjoy our selfs very much. The one thing I really dislike is that people smoke on the bleachers so that wasn't pleasant for my allergies or my children. Other than that we had a great time, food is reasonable bathrooms are clean which is a big plus for me .dress comfortable and bring a blanket so you can " reserve" your seating if you need to leave to the bathroom or get food.

This race track is tucked up in Painesville, OH just outside Perry. It has 1/5 mile track, slight banked. The bleachers are nice and feel safe. good food, affordable. Very clean restrooms!!! Affordable gate prices. You are up close to the action here, so I recommend ear plugs!!! They have a family sitting section which is no beer, smoking or swearing.
The night we went they had racing as well as the special racing of the ARCA Trucks were in town for a 100 Lap feature.
They also had a on track autograph session with the ARCA drivers. Free parking, you can get a stamp and go out and back in again. Grilling is allowed in the parking lot and so is camper camping, no hookups.
My biggest complaint is one food stand and the line is really long all the time, you can place an order online and pay online, but still 20min wait there. They also do not show anywhere on their web sight what classes they have, I don't see personally of any late model racing or legends. they need to provide more info.

It is what it is, a race track. Dress for the weather and bring money for food and drinks. Hot chocolate is a must if you go when it's cold.

OK now this is not NasCar, but honestly for a warm Saturday night for a couple of bucks, this place is fun. The crazy eight and the demolition derby is the best. Very family oriented, easy to get to, lots of parking (although grass parking). Just a good time for all. The funny car night is also one of the highlights.

The NASCAR Whelen All-American Series, smallest track sanctioned by NASCAR, Adult tix $10 free parking, food good & cheap, 16 oz cans of beer $3.50. Gates open 4:00, racing starts at 6. I enjoy the time trials not just the racing. Last event of the day they wet the track down for figure 8 racing. Center stands (blue section) reserved for the no drinking, no smoking, no swearing crowd. I like to sit in turn 3
