4M'ers at East Bay...

[d-glenn]

We know the drivers at EB, who else will be there? I will get there on Saturday for the week, camping. This will be my 22nd year in a row. Everyone have a safe trip....

[foxfire2dirtracing]

We will be there all week

You crazy kids have fun again this year…..love seeing you two pop up on here from time to time talking about this every year.
See ya next year, most likely for the whole month if things go as planned…..freeze up a couple of those fresh Florida strawberry’s and drop them in a solo cup of decent bourbon with crushed ice one night…..thank me later on that deal. It’s a good way to start before you switch to the good stuff for sipping and celebrating your favorite drivers win later.

Just might try your suggestion. Picked up some of those new “white strawberries” today at Floral City.
Got a little gift at Bubbas last night from Indians- Apple Pie in a mason jar!

The last time I went was the year neat won a feature , they were drying the track with an airboat one day and our rig was parked right inside the gate near the blue shed while we were cooking for some folks…..Weiss had a pile of debris taller than my truck when we left Sunday morning.
I remember the shortcake that year being epic and just incredible and something I had never seen at a dirt track….unknowingly my gall bladder was blowing up and my co pilot drug our rig back at warp speed Sunday am , next day I was in the hospital with complications.
Memory may be a little foggy , but dam that concession shortcake was great that week.

Y’all have fun

It will be our crew’s first time to East Bay. What are the cooler rules for the stands? Thanks in advance.

East Bay is very strick (an understatement)
No coolers or outside cups allowed. They want all the concession $$ they can get.
We go to tracks all over the United States- East Bay is the most stringent track we have ever been to for allowing outside amenities.

Sounds similar to Kokomo Speedway in Indiana. I've seen the Kokomo ticket taker/gate person insist that a half a 12 oz. bottle of water be thrown away prior to entry. Anyone who has attended KS knows they are hard core about their entry policy.

Attended EB many times but have never tried to enter with food or drink so we'll take you're word.

No coolers... You can buy draft and cans inside at a reasonable price.

Yep been to Pittsburgh 3 or 4 times/ very much the same except the staff at East Bay is much friendlier. Maybe they appreciate our money more than the owners of Pittsburgh Track?

[Rajflyboy]

Now how much is this strawberry shortcake at East Bay?

[Barbecueboy]

If you have to ask……😂

Kidding fly, enjoy it no matter how it tastes….you won’t find it at any of the tracks you visit.
There are no better strawberries on earth than those sweet feb. sunshine state berries….you will be happy you stopped at a roadside stand to take a quart or 10 home.

[Rajflyboy]

I can’t wait. Chance of rain next week. I hope we get lucky.

CIRF,

You're right about Kokomo Speedway. The deputy and ticket taker look you over like an x-ray machine. Always looking for that bottle of water people might sneak in so they can nab you. Waiting to be frisked. It must pain them on USAC nights when NOS is giving away free cans of energy drinks and fans can bring one into the track.

[dirtcrazy4u]

PPMS is a sh*thole now. We went one time and a group of guys sitting beside us brought in some KFC that they had stuffed in a plastic bag. Well somehow the law found out and came up and ejected the whole group that was eating the KFC.

The upside to all that scrutiny upon entry is that fact that Kokomo regularly produces the best racing you'll see in the Midwest, bar none. I reckon I can get past the over the top eyeballing you get on the way in the gate when the racing is as good as it is at KS!!

Well somehow the law found out and came up and ejected the whole group that was eating the KFC.They act like no other rules with their dictator like rules. I was working in the pits. Our feature was over and we were all loaded up on the trailer and ready to leave. I had family in the stands so I wanted to round them up and head home [3 hr drive] . The A holes wouldn't even let me into the bleachers to grab up my family ! ! They told me that I would have to buy a general admission ticket to go in there while they ran the last feature. The fact that I had paid even more money for my pit pass wasn't good enough for them believe it or not ! ! I was in shock that anybody would be that greedy [ and stupid] !! That alone makes me believe that it is KARMA that the place has deteriated so much with its rotten bleachers and low car counts. Most of the late model features only had enough cars in them to only look like it was a heat race running a feature ! On a track that big it don't create much excitement because that few of cars get spread out so far apart. It is so sad because the track could have been a contender for greatness if they would have given a crap about the drivers and fans........

[Barbecueboy]

I’ve seen them drying the track with an airboat before…..if it can be gotten in after rain, it will be.
Enjoy your trip, the place is just awesome with the atmosphere and normally the racing it produces.
Do yourself a favor and just walk the entire facility and take advantage of all of its unique viewing spots.

Good info. Thanks BBQ

If you like pizza, they have Hungy Howies there. They prepare them from scratch and serve them fresh!It comes in a box, so you can carry it to your seat!The sausage dog with peppers and onions is another of my favorites!
