    Any World 100 do's and dont's?

    Headed there for the first time next month. Camping Thursday-Sunday in the Northside lot. Our seats for Saturday are second to top row of section NI, middle of turns three and four. Plan to get pit passes and general admission tickets for Thursday and Friday.

    Really fired up about making the trip, been on my bucket list since I started following DLM's. Anyone have any tips for a rookie? Wanna make the most of the trip. Thanks

      The atmosphere isn't like any race I attend all year, some will say it's not what it was years ago when Earl had it, and I'll agree to that. Its still enough to make the hair stand up on your neck when that first heat hits the track on Saturday night.

      If you're going to get pit passes for Saturday, I highly recommend ya go stand by the infield fence in turn 3. It gives ya real sense of the speed they carry around that place. I always make it a point to make a stroll down pit row when all the cars are waiting to hit the track before their heats as well. The sights, the ground shaking, and the smell of burnt race fuel is just simply awesome.

      Hope ya go and have fun!

          Secure anything and everything that you don't want to be stolen. Secure it the best and heaviest way you can. There are thieves among you and they look and act just like average dirt late model race fans.

          The Darke County Sheriff's deputies are extremely indifferent to items being stolen. They seem to take golf cart rules and keeping people from bringing beer into the grandstands much more seriously than they are about apprehending the thieves and retrieval of a $2,000.00 generator or golf cart.

          Have fun and good luck!!

            tip #5: If you go and cheer for anyone other than the almighty bloomer, don't discuss it on here. You will automatically be labeled as a know- nothing.

                    Move all around Thurs night to see the action from different places. It's less crowded & easy to do. A pizza burger or 8! All food is good. CIRF, they even stopped me to check me leaving the track at the end of the night. 100s of us rushing out and they about tackled an old guy, trying to get to me! You'll hear plenty about it's not what it used to be, but soak in everything you can. It's great!

                          As said earlier, if u do not go stand against the inside wall n turn 3, u missed one of the coolest opportunities n all of dirt track racing! Def hit the cheese balls, def hit up the bowman fry stand out by the fan zone but do it early, later n the night there is a half mile line! Definitely stay in speedy camping, north side is lame... just saying.... and not sure when u r going up, but if u can, it is definitely cool to go down in the infield and stand on top of the medical center at 9 am thursday morning and watch all the haulers roll into positions! I do it every year and wouldn't miss it, the world is a great event!

                            Enjoy and take it all in.. been going twice a year for 15+ years and still get chills when the first heat hits the track on Saturday... steak on a stick, farmer browns, crown and coke, toilet water, Yuengling, pizza burgers, wings, cant go wrong with any of it! catch some qualifying or heats from the infield you wont be disappointed

                              Like the othe guy said stand in turn 3 or one of the other turns. Pretty much all the food is good and cheapest of any track I know of. There is a full Bar behind the main grandstands towards the turn 4 side. There really isn't a bad seat in the place. Take a camera with you. Pit passes for Saturday is only like $3 more the a grandstand seat.
