e were honored to receive the
Division 4 Summit Super Series Track of the Year award. In 2004, our track was voted IHRA's Sportsman Track of the Year. The track elevation is 1719 feet above sea level. We host many exciting events during the year. Check our schedule for dates and times. If your club or organization is interested in hosting an event, our facility is available for rental. Please contact us for details. Our track features an all concrete racing surface, including the burnout area. Over 2000' of concrete barricades line both sides of the track, enhancing safety, reducing the effects of crosswinds and reducing the chance for debris to enter the racing surface. There are over 10 acres of paved, lighted and striped pit parking. Fence parking is deep for truck/trailer/race car while the middle lanes are wide for motor home/big trailer/race car park beside. Spaces are angled to ease entrance and exit from the pit spaces. There is covered seating for 500 on both sides of the track. There are excellent views of the entire track, starting line to the finish, from all seats. The stands are handicap accessible with close by handicap parking. A professional sound system feeds the stands, pits and the parking areas with information, commentary and professionally produced sponsor information broadcasts
