My fiancé loves racing and we always have a great time when we visit the Indianapolis Speedrome…read more They have a great variety of races. There isn't a bad seat in the house however I suggest bringing bleacher seats for the wooden bleachers. Hold off on eating dinner before you come as well. Their nachos are delicious and their tenderloins look pretty good. I LOVE the margaritas that they sell and the sugar rim tops it off perfectly. For the kids or kids at heart, they have snow cones, cotton candy, and dippin dots! The biggest complaint I have for this place is that many fans smoke in the stands and it's hard to get away from the smell. I wish they would ban smoking. Also be prepared to hear some foul language as the fans are really invested into the races. If you can handle those few bad things, come on out for family fun at the Indianapolis Speedrome

The Indy 500, or any of the festivities, is a bucket list item if you ever live around the city. I got to attend this year and had a blast! There are a good amount of facilities infield and out, but race days allow in coolers with food and drink in non-glass containers. There are also a lot of entry points, so make sure to choose which one is closest to your seats and your parking for easiest ingress and egress. With all the people at the Speedway on race days, they do a great job with security, safety, and spacing of everything. Just make sure to wear your best walking shoes!

It's the greatest spectacle in racing...and one of those things to be checked off that bucket list. Negatives - it does take a bit to get inside the IDS on race day...so have patience. The bathrooms weren't bad as far as wait time but some stalls ran out of toilet paper. Notes - I recommend sitting higher in the bleachers cause it's you're down low it's hard to see and the cars come whipping around. The last time we were there I was in row Z. I also recommend bringing something to sit on. You can bring soft sided coolers with drinks (alcohol beverages too). My son wore headphones the majority of the race and I wore my loop earplugs...helps not to be deaf the next day.

The staff handled our group with a smile and made the entire experience run smoothly. The hosts were friendly, organized, and welcoming from the moment we arrived. The kids had an absolute blast racing and competing with one another. Watching their excitement alone made the visit worthwhile. I couldn't resist joining in for the final race, and those go-karts are no joke! They're fast, responsive, and incredibly fun to drive. It was just as enjoyable for the adults as it was for the kids. If you're looking for a place to host a team event, birthday party, or just spend a fun afternoon, Fastimes is a great choice.

We were immediately greeted with a big smile from a gentleman who proudly shared that he's been working there for 23 years. He took the time to explain everything, from the teen karts (which go up to 30 mph) to the adult karts (up to 40 mph). I was impressed to learn that licensed 16-year-olds can drive the adult karts..neat and a little scary! They offer a private room, though note that private events aren't booked on weekends and reservations aren't taken. However, if it's not busy, the private room is often available. Also, any racer under 18 needs a waiver signed by a guardian 24 hours in advance. The day of the party, we arrived early since it's first-come, first-served. The ladies at the counter were friendly and set us up in the private room, which was perfect for our group of twelve 16-year-olds. The space is roomy, has AV capabilities, and features a huge window overlooking the track. There's even an order window in the room for added convenience! The food options exceeded my expectations as well--the menu is larger than I expected, and the pizzas and tater tots we ordered were pretty tasty. We'll definitely be back. Such a great experience!

One of the most underrated parts of the park? The food!!! The grill has everything you need for a day at the track - drinks, hamburgers, hot dogs, ice cream, candy, shaved ice, pasta salad, chips, fresh fruit, etc!! They also have an extensive breakfast menu, and sell bags of ice. They also sell merch like t-shirts and hoodies. There are bleachers to watch the races from outside, and lots of indoor seating with outlets if you need to charge your phone. Family owned and operated. Staff is always super friendly. The racing scene here is unmatched. It's a great place for both kid karting and adult kart racing, and you can rent out parking spots to park your trailer as well as garage spots at the track. There are also rental karts. But you'll have to talk to the driver in the family to know more about that!!! Wonderful way to spend a weekend. Pro-tip: Wal-Mart, gas station, and decent hotels are close by!! Thanks New Castle!!

Excellent staff and volunteers that ensure you have a safe, fun day of racing. They offer garage rental or offer nice areas for setting up your own pit area.

They have camper spots, bathrooms with full showers, a restaurant and full bar. I cant say enough good about this place. If you have racing in your blood you will consider this your home track after trying it once. GO!

This was my first time here, and has been rather a dream to come check out. LUCKILY i have some extended family that lives not far from the track. I only purchased tickets for the finals day because i didn't want to make a job out of coming for a whole week. I ended up going with the Top Eliminator Club tickets, which have a stout price, but it comes with some actual nice perks! There is a separate building you can go chill at with tons of seating and tv's everywhere to keep an eye on the action. It is an all-day event, so being able to go relax somewhere a little less loud and sit with your food is pretty nice. Outside there are tents that had I think 10 different types of drinks available free for TEC and you get breakfast in the morning which was fruit and sugary treats and then for lunch you get (1) run thru the lunch line so load up! (the wrist band has a thing they cut off) The food was pretty dang good! i figured after being in those big steamer trays for awhile all the flavor would have evaporated. It was well worth the extra cost and my wife who does not follow racing at all enjoyed the whole experience. The whole body rumble from the nitro funny cars was intense to say the least so the TEC building is a pretty cool thing to retreat to. I can't wait to do this again!

It includes a…read more0.686-mile oval track, a 2.5-mile road course, and a 4,400-foot drag strip which is among the premier drag racing venues in the world. The NHRA U.S. Nationals runs here on Labor Day weekend each year. It's the biggest, the longest and most historic drag racing event in the world. We always enjoy seeing the Pro Stocks, Funny Cars, Mototcycles, Alcohol Dragsters and Top Fuel Dragsters on the well maintained track. In 2008, NHRA shorten the distance of the Funny Car and Top Fuel Dragster car races to 1,000 feet from the standard quarter-mile for safety reasons. Acres of parking including ADA parking along with camping is available. There really isn't a bad seat in the stands but I always recommend purchasing reserved seating in the grandstands. I prefer to sit in section BB and fairly high up. Yes, you'll smell like nitro but hopefully the wind is blowing the smoke away from your seat. Oh, and earplugs or ear protectors are highly recommended as the cars are LOUD! Rain delayed the 2022 festivities on Saturday when we were there but after the track was dry, around 2:00, it was back-to-back racing the remainder of the day. Shortly after announcements started a sky driver floated down carrying a briefcase with $80,000 prize money for the Pep Boys NHRA Top Fuel All-Star Callout Speciality Race with Steve Torrence winning the prize money. The other exciting run on Saturday was Justin Ashley in a Top Fuel Dragster who broke the track record with 335.032 but Brittany Force broke Ashley's new record on Sunday with 337.75.

Great race track way out in the middle of no where in Indiana. I had no problems during my weekend…read morevisit for the first time in the state of Indiana at this Race Track. On Scene: Bobby Pierce won the Lucas Oil Series race here on Sunday, September 23rd, 2018. I took over 50 pictures while at this race track as you can see for this listing. I review race tracks based on the following; concession stands, view of track, facilities, parking, scoreboard, and smoking. Additionally, as an added bonus, if they have an overhead roof is a plus. A feature I haven't thought of as being important at a race track. But, it came in handy here since it was a rainy weekend. More on this later. Concession Stands: Every time I visited the concession stand, I noticed no lines or only 1 or 2 people in line. I think this is because they are fast and they have more choices to choose from. Additionally, they have more people working the concession stands. Furthermore, there were some other vendors selling food and drinks behind the concession stands. Over head roof: This race track has something other race tracks that I have been to -don't have. They have an overhead roof. I liked this, as you don't have to worry about getting sunburnt. More importantly, I didn't worry about getting rained on. Facilities: They have bathroom facilities with running water. So, you can wash your hands. Track View: I had a great seat as I noticed you could see the whole race track from just about any seat in the grandstands. It's important to see all race cars race around the oval dirt track as a race fan. Parking: I had no problems in parking. The attendant said I could park anywhere. Also, I had no problems leaving the race after the race was over. Scoreboard: This race track has a scoreboard to keep track of the top 5 drivers. I like a race track that has this feature so you can tell who the leader is at all times. Smoking: There was no problem of anyone around me smoking. Although, smoking is allowed, there wasn't too many race car fans smoking around me. Thus, I enjoyed the race without worrying about second hand smoke blowing in my direction. My Experience: I got to see Scott Bloomquist sign autographs for race car fans at his souvenir trailer. My favorite late model race car driver almost won the race here today. This Jonathan Davenport. Jonathan led most of the laps during the second half of the race. But, Bobby Pierce passed Jonathan Davenport on the last lap with about 30 feet or so to go to the finish line. What a race. It was about the best race I have seen.

The covered bleacher area has some questionable sections that are in need of some repair but over all they have adequate seating that is cover and newer bleachers that are uncovered.

Compared to other tracks in southern Indiana I'd say this place was my favorite facility and has the best racing action.

When we went to pay for the three of us (myself, wife, and 2yr old daughter) it was $90 to get into the pits. We've been to plenty of tracks before we had a little one and are totally used to how much it is to get into the pits- but didn't expect them to charge full adult price for a toddler who was going to be carried the whole time. Especially when general admission is free for kids under 14. When we asked why it was full price for her- and not maybe half price ($15) we were met with a rude attitude from the woman in the booth. We ended up paying to stay since we drove all that way but we won't be back and we will be sure to forward the info on to all our racer friends and fans.
