That's unreal! Now they just need to move about 3 of the 6 EB dates there instead
I enjoyed E B back when they did time trials at noon an worked the track .Then had feature races that night ..gate price was beond gouging..yet i kept going until ..well I had enough . This thread is to praise and show appreciation to GIS . NOT BASH OTHER TRACKS. I bet it get little response because the trolls are busy ... If I were bitching about price...100 replies in an hour ya dig..
EB used to have the market kind of cornered and could get away with the prices they have set. Now with DLM racing basically all year around it doesn't make sense. Plus back in the late 90s you were getting 80 plus cars that were cream of the crop. They will certainly get my $ again considering I have free room 10 mins down the road. As far as GIS goes that price is just amazing. We only have one track around me that allows carry ins and that's FALS... Certainly doesn't hurt the wallet as bad.
Plus add in all the improvements that Golden Isles has done over the last couple years. GI is doing it right with low admission and multiple classes. Can't wait to get there, just hope the weather isn't as wet as last year.
I didn't know you could bring a cooler into the stands at Fairbury. I've never seen it.Quote:

Now that's good promoting. Place should be packed.
thank you golden isle!!!!
No I messaged the Facebook page and they stated those prices were correct!
They won't let you carry in a cooler or beer in a can/bottle but they will let you bring in mugs. We have 64oz ones and I've seen bigger. Usually run to the campsite and refill couple times a night. Sometimes I have to check DOD the next day to make sure the racing was actually as good as I thought it was lolQuote:

I'm sure they know the demographics for the area. Affordable for an entire
Family to attend, maybe even both nights. The back gate will do good. Get the front gate in volume/including concessions.
I know they have installed an upper deck of seating above the new ones (old Daytona backstretch) they put in for last year. Plenty of seats, hope they fill em up.
I thought the same because they had a heading/post pertaining to posting childerns admission . This is the reply I got ..Quote:

I will spend money at that track that I normally wouldn't . The back gate is a little heavy but thats kind of hard to say pulling up in a 300,000 rig
You may bring in coolers. No glass bottles and we ask that you keep the coolers within reasonable size so that they do not interfere or block isles in respect of other attendees. Thank you.
Same here....I asked the lady at the pit gate was I lost and at DIS! lolQuote:

If it looks to good to be true then it usually is. Trackside Parking - $20/spot/night
That makes admission for Friday $30 and Saturday $35, that is if you're going by yourself. Best bet would be load up a group of buddies and split the cost of the parking.

That is incorrect. Trackside parking is for the spots along the fence on the backstretch and turns 3 and 4. With those spots you can back your truck in and watch the races from the bed of your truck.Quote:

When you put in Golden Isles Speedway into Google maps , what are all the cars parked in the parking lots for but nothing is going on at the track the time that the photo was taken.
The track owns that land and rents it out to the port. Those are brand new cars on their way to dealerships.Quote:

I thought about going a couple years but never did.
This is a track always wanted to go to was planning to go there last year my husband and I had always wanted to travel around to different track and we did some but my husband got very sick last March and died . So i will be going to some track hopefully in 2017 with someone who like dirt track racing like me .Have not been on this site in awhile my husband was on it every day. Things can change in your life with in a day. God, give us each day a gift it Life!Quote:

I agree! Qualifying at noon and reworking the track produced the best racing. Then they stopped doing it because of laziness because they didn't want to prep the track twice.Quote:

If fans have a reason to support any particular track, this track earns that right!
Sorry for the loss of your husband. Stay strong and enjoy the races that you attend as im sure your late hisband would want you to. He will be there with you watching from up above!Quote:
