Just go! It is a blast! They still allow coolers and alcohol (BYOB), the cars are fast and loud, the track is well maintained. It is just a great evening of southern entertainment! The racing action is intense. During the last race, one if the drivers spun out and hit the wall trying to stay out of the way of the race leader. I was amazed when the announcer stated while the wrecker was heading out to get the car off the wall and back into the race, that the driver was only 12! Obviously, he instantly became me and my brothers favorite driver. Get'em started early :-)
