    It is in the top 5 tracks in the Country.Four tenths mile in 12 seconds.The new owner has done wonders with the place.There is not a bad seat in the house.Get there early plenty of parking but you will be backed up
    on I 81 getting in.You will have to walk up the hill if you are late.

    Last time I went you could bring coolers into pits but not grandstands. If you get there early enough you should find a spot to put a folding chair on the ledge on backstretch. Can also watch from infield with a pit pass

    No bad spot to watch the race from at The Gap, backstretch Tier Parking is where I always sat growing up and where I still park to this day. Show should go pretty quick with the local division hotlap/qualifying. Plenty of food choices around the track as well however, the track food is pretty dang good.

    Top 5 track in the country? I've never been there but I think you're reaching here.

    I live 30 minutes from there and was at the first race held in 2974. It was won by D. Burks in a #73 Chevrolet/lagunna. I raced there myself for 5 years just after high school starting in 1975. Have been to hundreds of races there as well as tracks from Canada to Florida & East Coast to Cedar Lakes. It is very very far from a top 5 track.

    I like Bulls Gap. Been there many times. But I wouldn’t even put it in my Top 5 tracks in Tennessee. If you only care about mph, you’ll like it. If you like racing (passing), it’s like the usual red clay tracks are. Dirt > Clay

    It's an interesting track for sure. Only been there once and watched from the infield. I was in awe of the banking! In fact it was a "holy sh!t moment"!!

    It use to be like Eldora use to be - if you had the courage to ride the high side guard rail. After several adding new dirt the banking had changed & more drivers run the middle or ark the turns. Bobby Pierce would have excelled in the earlier days of the Gap.

    Watching from the infield is like standing in an oblong cereal bowl......it's pretty cool to see from that aspect , and I do like the place as a whole but the races I've seen there are more about the speed and attrition and not so much side by side passing and racing.

    Tier parking is the way to go if you can still get it, IMO.
    Where is the move over flag when you need it?????

    I haven't been there since the new owner took over but back in the day when Ed turner ran the place it was great he would turn the track under at least once a week sometimes twice if he didn't like how it looked.
