    A shock of your life at first look but back woods almost in town different. I was there a few years ago during a SRRS race. Seating- like a small high school baseball field, wood planks. Steep bank for a lawn chair but you must dig holes to level the lawn chair. Crowds- Steep hill side with grass, cool. Plenty of room. Parking- top of a clay ridge and hope it does not rain a lot for it was very muddy in spots. Tier parking on the back side of the small oval fairly high bank track (use to have a pond in the middle) which is cool for a tail gate party. Bathroom- good. Track- typical clay very small sorta high bank which is neat. It is primitive different. Wartburg TN

          Very cool setting for a racetrack. Especially like the terrace parking where you can watch the race from your vehicle. Track is small, high banked and fast. I saw a WoO late model race there once. 50 lap feature ran caution free. It was over in about 10 minutes. I don’t think there was a pass the entire 50 laps lol

                        Josh Rice won from 10th. Sounds like it might have been a good show.

                          I was there. Fantastic race. Track finally came around in time for the super race. They were racing top to bottom with sliders galore. Josh was on a rail. He made an incredible move to pass both Victor Lee and Skyler Marler at the same time as they were running side by side. Big crowd also. Tier parking was packed.

                            I went last night and must say it was worth every bit of the
                            362 mile round trip.
                            They had a huge crowd.
                            The food was good.
                            Track crew kept the show rolling.
                            A person would have thought that it was a Lucas or woo
                            race by looking at the crowd.
                            BTW, I looked like I'd been rolling in the dirt when I left!!!! LOL
                            Thanks Wartburg and I will go back again.

                              Big congrats to Josh Rice. IF he ever gets sponsored out on the tour with a top team, he will be a handful. I saw his first race when he was a very young man and he has the goods to be good/smile
