    If it's who I think it is, his elevator doesn't go to the top floor.

And if the dining experience and overall spit n' polish are not up to your standards, maybe dirt tracks aren't for you.

      Sure there are things they could improve upon. #1 for me is that the first heat race didn't hit the track until almost 10:00. But the racing was good, and that's what we're there for, right?
      So the track was pretty good after all? It's been a while since I've been down to my favorite track.

        We left there completely blanketed in dust. Parking always sucks at Tazewell. I've been going there for 20 years, so I know. It is what it is. We got there an hour before the drivers meeting. Three heat races for a Lucas show is disappointing, but that's the usual at Tazewell. A lot of drivers don't like it. Didn't eat the track's food. It's not that big a deal. Been to over 100 tracks the last 45 years. Seen a lot of great facilities and plenty of bad ones. That's dirt racing. Despite your concerns, I think I'll keep going.

            Probably the same guy. I'm not sure this guy even has a top floor. Has a nice looking yard though lol.

              I've been there a few times over the years and this was one of the better prepped tracks that I've seen. Normally it's rougher than a cobb and one lined at times. This track was in way better shape. And I have to say it seemed there were quite a few more good lookin' women walking the stands, or maybe I'm just getting even more willing the older I get haha
