Which dirt track has the best facilities? From the pits to the grandstands, food, beer, bathrooms. I am talking about cleanliness, the layout, the concessions and prices, parking... all of it, what makes your track the best?
 
I'd rather have a so so or crappy facilities track with great racing than fancy taj mahal with one lane train races
 
I would have to say Highland has the best Roast beef sandwhich, a little ranch dressing and onions...omg... yum!!....Concessions are also very reasonable, (A close second is TCS porkchop sandwhich!) (Belleville..Popcorn!)
Highlands Grandstand seating is top notch. They don't need sky boxes!!! They have BOX seats right up front! With upstairs and down stairs womans bathrooms, never having to wait in line a good thing!!!
 
west plains mo.,batesville AR.knoxville IA.sedalia mo.KLMS Duquoin IL.springfield mile little rock AR.Benton mo.malden mo.brownstown IL.and IN. eldora.I have been to almost every track in the state of mo.and about half in illinois
 
KY Lake is amazing when it comes to facilities. At least for the 16 or so tracks that I've gotten to travel to. I-55 is a lot better than it used to be. But it's hard to beat tiled floors in the bathrooms and air conditioned shops. The suites down there are pretty nice too. Haven't really been inside the ones at Pevely yet. Short of looking in the windows and wishing I was in there.
 
Nice facility

I think Tri-City Speedway is the best I have been to in the area. They could use a little scrubbing in the mens room, but have everything you want at the track. That is from a spectator point of view.
 
Oklahoma City Fairgrounds Speedway

Eagle Raceway in Nebraska

Knoxville, IA

Manzanita Speedway, Phoenix AR

Sharon Speedway, Hartford, OH

In this area:

Wheatland

Lake Ozark

I-55

Tri-City insn't quite there yet, but I'm sure when Kevin gets finished with the project in the next couple of years it will be right up there.
 
Man i tell you what i would have to say Lake of the Ozarks is the best. I go to I-55 and Belleville every week. I think i been a total of 15 different race tracks and i have to say Lake of the Ozarks is the best. Belleville has come a long way then what they used to be. Man back in the day the tolets at Belleville didnt have doors. For a kid or anybody it was embarrasssing
 
I've never been to "The Diamond in the Rough" Lucas Oil Speedway, but from what i've heard, and what i've seen in pictures, I would have to say that's probably the best track in the nation. Facility wise. They have everything, not just for the fans, but the drivers too. But from the tracks that I have been to, I would have to say Eldora, Tri-City, and I-55.
 
Lake Ozark, hands down..
very clean restrooms, lots of concessions, beer, they even provide cushions for seating. and just outside the gate.. you have the strip club to go to after the races. lol.
 
I would say Wheatland is about the best overall. The shops are extra clean, the stands are clean. The food is great.

The only negative thing is the area for alcohol. They have their beer lines (multiple areas) and then they only have 2 lines for the "hard liquor". Yet, they will let someone get in one of the beer lines, order a beer and then they can order their other drinks. Well, the "beer person" can't fix the hard liquor so the people standing in the liquor line have to wait until their server fixes the hard liquor. (I'm not real happy as we stood in this line all through qualifying awhile back)
 
hey bloomerjeepfan one word eldora no b s hard liquoor bar and you know the rest if I want afancy smashy stadium well busch stadium wouldbe it I don't go to fancy race tracks unlless the racing is great klms or florence which one do you think I 'llpick brownstown ind or wheatland which one
 
I have been to 81 tracks in my lifetime, each track having good points and bad points. Knoxville, Iowa is the best for a weekly show, because you have plenty of room to choose your seat and the food is great....but at National time your packed in like a sardine. I was very impressed with KY Lake in this area. I-55 is nice except for spectator viewing, they should just tear everything down and start over. The sight lines there are horrible...Tri City is on its way to being great, there again the grandstands have decent sight lines but the feeling that they may fall down any minute makes me vary wary. I haven't been to the new Lucas oil Speedway, and I have only heard good things about it
 
When it comes down to facility, Lucas Oil Speedway wins this contest, hands down. Let me list the reasons why:

All walking areas are paved concrete.
Children's playground, slick track go-kart track.
Indoor bar, air conditioned.
Indoor concessions, air conditioned, with windows so you can watch (easily) the race while you wait.
Great food at reasonable prices.
Indoor souvenier shop, air conditioned.
Large, clean bathrooms...and no trough, either. Individual urinals, divided.
Bleachers mounted on concrete, with backs.
Top five rows are fold down stadium seats.
Back stretch tower, so you can go around and see what is going on in the pit area.
Large scoring tower with jumbo-tron screen, with replays.
