One thing for sure you wont be disappointed if you've never been.

Best deal in racing, only thing we noticed over the years was more locals going just to party, no interest in the races. Last time we went some lady got all drunk and started beating her baby's daddy in the stands. Police had to get her up and out. Haven't been back.

But the cheap prices, cheap food, and great racing is good if you can tolerate the people(I won't use fans because last time it was very obvious very few were there for the race).

I would love to hear a review after this weekend though, maybe change my mind for next year. King Royal this year as we missed the Dream and missed being at Eldora, but we'd been to Oakshade several years running before that last trip.

Enjoy! Oh and get there WAY early to mark your seats, but check the times, they will 100% rip your stuff up and toss it if it's before the posted marking time. Seen it happen.

The track is usually a dust bowl, terrible lighting and you can barely see the cars. I won't go back. I'd rather go to Attica and watch a race...

Best deal for fans in racing. $12 GA and $20 for pits, same price every week. Last 3 years over 50 late models for this race highest car counts on the Hell tour.

I predict Rusty the missing Schlenk will win Oakshade...

I've said it before. I'll never go back to Oakshade. One of the five dustiest tracks I've ever attended. I could say more, but it is a dirt track, so I respect that.

I thought this track slicked off, and got black from top to bottom. If that's the case, how can it be overly dusty?

Usually a lot of cars and affordable prices. That’s the extent of the positives I can identify with that track. I hope all who go have a good time and enjoy the races.

Make sure you lock up your valuables and don't leave any in plain sight in your vehicles. Lots of thefts there, especially generators. The crowd tends to be pretty sketchy.

I thought this was the best track in the country according to people.

I was pretty impressed. Facilities are rough. But, I don't care about that.

I agree masterbilt and they sprinkle the track before every heat race so no dust to speak of. Yes it is rustic and very affordable.

The place produces awesome racing. Nothing fancy, but very functional

He hasn't won anywhere else. What makes you think he will win there, favoritism?

Oakshade is a good place, been there hundreds of time never had an issue with dust. The bleachers and bathrooms are an experience, but the racing is good and so is the food. Its good for the self-esteem too, because white trash and ignorant schlenk fans are in abundance there.
