I was texting my buddy that they're selling 6 seat boxes for $1800 . . . I said it would be cool to rally up 6 friends to pitch in $300 each then split up the seats however.
Then he reminded me that I don't have 6 friends !!!! 😆 🤣

It’s been a few since I’ve been there. Always was a good time.

Love watching Speedway and always wanted to try it out... but I have enough time consuming things on my plate...So, I'll just roll out, watch some awesome racing and drink some beer!

Haven’t been since I first started dating the wife. Always wanted to go back. Don’t they race Harleys, ego challenge, sort of thing?
Edit. Just looked up their schedule. They have different novelty races on different nights. Only concern I would have would be a bunch of drunk assholes.

Spent a lot of quality time there in the 70s. My grandparents were friends with Bruce Penhall's parents and my brother and I would hang with him at the track in the late 70s & early 80s.

Thanks for the reminder. Spent a lot of Sat nights there in the early 80's. Started taking the wife/grandkids back a couple of years ago. Good family entertainment for sure.

Although I haven't been in a couple years, I've never seen any problems.
Lots of families with kids . . . date nights . . . Old Schoolers etc. etc. . . . i'm sure there's always some outliers, but I think it's more of the exception than the rule.
Seems like security would squash anything pretty quick before it got out of hand . . . I'm sure the people running it don't want any bad publicity, especially now-a-days.
Oh, and I'll confess . . . many many years ago, we drank way more than we should've there a few times . . . but we never got in any trouble, nor did we start anything . . . it was always just laughs, smiles , and good times.

Not sure who could even afford to get that drunk there!

It’s a pretty chill crowd all things considered I’d say.
