Lucas should set a standed for tracks to get a date ,

[old fan]

good racing and a halfway clean restroom is all I need.

bingo to that

[rodfactor]

I guess you could say do you go to the track to poop or to watch a race.as I say that my kids will have to poop at the track and I will have a mess on my hands.

In my opinion, all I need is a good racing surface and decent view. Couldn't care less about the bathrooms or consessions. If you want amenities, go to a Nascar race.

Do you wear Depends or use a bladder bag?

[plunks7]

Oh I got ripped for posting worst n best tracks. I posted as I saw them. I didn't rip any track that I'd of never been too. My thought is if it's a piece of crap, IMO people shold at least be aware, not saying they shouldn't go. They can for their own opinion. I'd just say told you so.

I liked that post you started Umpdirt1. Its to bad that it was deleted. I thought it was very informative. Just goes to show that some can't handle the truth!!!

Right there with ya. I can't remember the last time I even went near a restroom at a dirt track. But then again, I don't drink a case of beer at the track either.
I know of a couple tracks here in the Midwest that get slammed because of their restrooms and they still pack em in.
Now I'm speaking for myself as I have no kids and the lil woman wouldn't go if they had 5 star powder rooms available.

I go to a dirt track for racing. Not the perks.

Tracks surface
Bathrooms ....enough to handle the crowd
General cleanliness,
Concessions
Number of divisions on the card when the come too town .
If they cant even have a few working toilets and empty garbage cans..Dont give them a date .It looks bad on the series. How Cherokee keeps a date is beyond me . Its like they just dont care..Rednecks keep showing up so why do anything ,,Lucas''Forrest this looks bad on your product ;Lots of tracks including the one i love does not deserve a date !!! It brings the quality of your series down ,,,Its my home track but they had garbage from last year in cans ans nasty bathrooms like years past ...LAAAAAAAAZZZZZZYYYYYYY LEEEEEENNNNNYYYYYYY AND CHANNNNNNNNN SO CALLED MANAGER ,,,, NO EXCUSE

That's sad to hear, I've always loved going to Cherokee going back to 1990, but I've seen what your talking about and don't understand not improving things. Makes you wonder what their house is like... Maybe a little social media pressure will help.

Your opinion is tracks are closing because of these things. That of course isn't truth and purely an opinion. My opinion is no matter how good a track may be at amenities, if the racing sucks, people simply will not go. I'm sure you can find many tracks where amenities are good and promoters are continuously putting money into the track, yet the fan base still isn't there nor are the cars. Winchester Speedway in VA is a perfect example. People will only be fooled so many times before they quit giving chances!

It's very difficult to clean bathrooms. Takes advanced college degrees, a crew of at least 15 per bathroom, and chemicals not available to just anyone. Why would you make such an outrageous demand as a clean bathroom!! Unbelievable!

[Phatdaddy]

Umm.. actually Mr. off topic (All Dirt), only 4 of the replies to this thread are about "tracks closing". And two of them are by you. The actual topic was about tracks getting Lucas Oil dates in regards to their amenities, to which I replied that amenities mean little to me. (it is an opinion forum).
In my opinion, I would rather pay the money to go to a sanctioned race with a great track, rather than a Taj Mahal with locked-down racing. There are lots of tracks out there that remain open without having great amenities, always have been. And congratulations on being in dirt racing all your life. We are all happy for you.

They have a standard set in stone. It is who can cut the check to get them there...

[luke81]

I've been to facilities that have hosted MUCH bigger events than a late model race that couldn't meet those standards, so I'm not sure what you'd want them to do. The first time I went to Martinsville for a Cup race back in like 1996 or so you couldn't walk into the restroom without being an inch deep in pee water.

[seifertfan2]

Well its not always the tracks fault either, they try to keep them clean and for some reasons fans choose to put stuff in the toilets or just not flush them at all. Id like to know if some of these people actually flush their toilets at home. Its just as much our responsibility to help keep them clean as it is the tracks.

I was a member of a crew that wen to Eldora for the World 100. My bosses also owned a race track. We had just finished a $60,000 rest room project.

We asked Earl how he can get away with ONE mens room with one urinal and a toilet and ONE women's rest room with two stalls. Earl said "people come to see a race not take a sh*t.... all the while the cornfield north of turn four had signs saying "Mens" and "Women".... I guess if you have a good racing product you can get away with a lot.

"Standed".

That is all.
