Camping
Primitive camping is available in the pit area for $40 for the weekend. No camping fee is charged if camper/toterhome belongs to a driver that is competing in the event. No campfires on ground allowed, all fires must be in a fire pit raised off the ground. Anyone camping in pit area must purchase a pit pass for each day.
Stacker Trailer/RV/Toterhome Notice
If you are coming into the pit area with a stacker trailer, totorhome, or RV, please take notice that once you get past the ticket booth and turn left down the gravel road in the pit area, be sure to stay left or right of the gravel road when crossing underneath the pit lights. The wire is a little low and can drag the roof, but that can be 100% avoided by just going a little left or right of center of the road.
Transponders
We use the Westhold transponders. If you have your own transponder, be sure to give your transponder number when you register. If you do not have a Westhold transponder, we have them available to rent for $15.
Registration Fees
There is no additional event or track registration fees outside of the pit pass fee.
GPS Notice
Be sure that your GPS is taking you to I-64 and then to US Route 60, then to Yates Crossing Road, then to Prichard Road to go to the speedway. The speedway is only about 10 minutes off of I-64.
Speedway Entrance
Be sure to enter the speedway at the speedway entrance at the gravel road. DO NOT enter at the Ona Airpark which will take you onto pavement. There is no speedway access from the Ona Airpark without crossing the active runway which is strictly prohibited. Note that when you take the left on Prichard Road from Yates Crossing Road, you are less than a quarter mile from the speedway entrance.
