Bathrooms have a place where you can wash your hands. They also concession stands that have great food. They also had no lines every time I wanted something to drink and eat. Race track view: all seats are good seats from what I see. But, I would recommend sitting up as high as possible to get an even better view. I could see the race cars driving around the whole race track. I met a friend beside me while here. I said he was a regular and used to have a race team and come to this race track in his younger days. He mentioned a few drivers that were racing today that used to drive for him. Prices for admission was very reasonable. They were charging $15 to get in. They also have senior citizens discount where it was only $12 for admission. In summary, I had a great time. I will definitely come back to this race track soon. Everyone was nice and friendly.

Great big race track way out in the middle of no where. I mean it's way out in the country…read more However, it's a pretty good size too. I wanted to go to a race track this weekend to watch drag racing. The advertising "flyer" on Facebook mentioned motorcycle rally but it also said drag racing. Advertising: So, I thought I would see motorcycles and cars drag racing. The flyer also said dirt drag races too. On Scene: Approaching race track, I saw signs that said spectators entrance to the right of race track. I parked close by gate and walked to entrance where I paid $20. Ticket counter sales person said I could catch shuttle that would take me closer to grandstands. She also said shuttle would bring me back as it will be making continuous trips. However, I had to walk all the way back to back main entrance after waiting 30 minutes for him in the hot sun. However, Shuttle operator just parked shuttle at main back entrance and got off and was talking to his friends instead of working. I told Ticket operators about this and she says "sorry". She said racing will start up again in a couple hours since it was so hot. So, I left and went back to hotel and told her I will be back in a couple hours. On Scene 2nd time: So, I came back a couple hours later around 7pm when the sun was going down and it was cooler. I showed my arm band which I kept on my wrist so I wouldn't have to pay admission again. Again, shuttle operators not on shuttle. He yelled out get on shuttle and " I will be over there in a second". He finally came but with an attitude this time. He got in drivers seat and turned toward me and said let me call track owner and see if she will let you drive to grandstand area. He came back and said I could. So, I walk back to truck and go through gate showing my arm band. For the first time ever, I saw the Hells Angels motorcycle club at the same place I was. They were selling their stuff and riding their motorcycles which was I thought was pretty cool. I have always wanted to ride motorcycles. So, I have an Interest in motorcycles as I have a motorcycle endorsement on my license. In summary, there was no dirt track drag racing, no race car drag racing and only a few drag races between motorcycles. I did have a good time but I thought it would be better if there had been race car drag races which I was led to believe they were having. Final Thoughts: I will be back for drag races another day. When I do, I might update my experience at that time. So, I might come back. We will just have to wait and see.

The younger ones on…read moreour group were super excited and got to see many types of cars and bikes and ate hotdogs, pizza and chicken sandwich. The older ones in our group signed up to race on the street car and had a blast. For only $20 you can enter your street car, or $10 to get in just to watch. It was the most fun we had in a long time around here. I would recommend to anyone specially since there is not much to do around this area.

We had so much fun watching all the cars racing and eating the 'not so healthy' food. They have an area to buy items, where you can find some collectible pieces as well here and there.

It gets a solid 4 stars based on parking, facilities, concession stands, view of track, accessibility, food, and entertainment. I had no problems parking at the race track. It's pretty much self parking. You just drive up and park wherever you want. I really liked this. They facilities there where you can wash your hands and if course bathrooms. They even paper towels to dry off your hands and a neat little laundry basket to throw them in. The concession stands had long lines at them at intermission and breaks between races. So, I recommend getting in a short line when a race starts that you are not interested in. I could see the whole track from where I was sitting. There were no blind spots on the back stretch either as I could see the race card over there too. It was easy to enter the race track as well as being pretty much kind a easy leaving the race track. There is a stop sign down the road that causes a little traffic problem but nothing more than a couple minutes. The food at the race track was great too. They have nachos and cheese for $5 and their hot dogs are delicious. I also got a pickle that was mouth watering. Entertainment: The races were entertaining. I enjoyed all the races here. They had super Late models which is was I like, modified late models and "U car" race cars here on the night that I attended which was Saturday, March 23rd, 2019.

You can actually walk completely around this track. You have the option of sitting in the stands or bringing your own chair and sitting in the grass or on the walkway on the back stretch. They have your typical race track food & beer. For $15 you get 6 races. Unknown to me, NASCAR legend Bobby Labonte was running the special modified race and that drew a big crowd. If you want to feel, hear and smell racing a local track like Carteret is the place for you.

I really enjoyed this race. I have been to 30 different race tracks across the South and I have to…read moresay that this is one of the best oval dirt tracks I have been to. Let me just say that it is big. Everything is big about this race track. It has a big parking lot, a big race track, a big grand stand and etc. You can see the whole race track from any seat. I had no problems in parking and left the race track easily. The race track food was delicious as expect to stand in long lines at the concession stands but they are not real long. On Scene: I parked next to some other pickup trucks that happen to be tailgating. I never been to an oval dirt race track where I have seen tailgating. I have only seen this at NASCAR race tracks and football games. Anyway, I sat on my tailgate for a few minutes to prepare for watching the races. Then, I grabbed my lawn chair and bought a pit pass for so I can go wherever I wanted including the grand stands. I walked through the pits looking at some of the race cars as I was going to the grand stands to set up my lawn chair. I picked a place to put my chair as high up as possible so I could see all of the race track. This way, I can see everything and really enjoy the entertainment. Next, I left my seat for the pits to take pictures of race cars and talk to put crew members. One tip I would give is to be alert and make sure you don't get in anybody's way while in the pits as you don't want to bother them. I like walking in the pits a few hours before the race during the day. You can take pictures like I did and can easily see the race cars. Then, at night you can sit in the grand stands and watch the race.

The temperature was about 55 to 60 degrees and the sun was out with a little wind blowing. They do have a concessions stand. See photo of their menu items and prices. There was only one person in line when I decided I wanted something to eat. I chose nachos and cheese like I usually do at race tracks. The nachos look like the same ones you buy at Sam's Club which is just a few miles away in Jacksonville, NC. They do have bathrooms here but they need to be remodeled. You can wash your hands and there is soap. But, no paper towels in one of the paper towel dispensers. The parking can be congested if you like tier parking which is viewing the races from the tailgate of your pickup truck. You have to park in about the same area as the pits. So, I parked up against the fence and could see pit crew members right behind me. One acted like he wanted my parking place. On Scene: While I was here. One race car blew an engine in the right lane causing oil to be spilled. As a result, they closed the right lane instead of cleaning it up. Therefore, no more racing two cars. However, they did keep the left lane open. But, it was boring with no more racing two cars down the race track. It was just a race car racing by itself down the track in one lane.

The guy also always has a dam hot microphone. If the cars are in the burn out pit please do the folks in the spectator pits a favor and turn the microphone off it is unbearable. The guy that replaced the guy was on the microphone was better but too little too late. I lost interest and decided to do a yelp review. ALSO HOW MUCH DO LIGHT BULBS COST????

The location is way out in the middle of no where and almost at the North Carolina-Virginia border. Now, this race track was not on Yelp so, I created the listing and adjusted the GPS pin accordingly. The view of the race track was great as I could see the whole race track from the main grandstands. They do have facilities with bathrooms and where you can wash your hands. I saw no tier parking at this race track. The concession stands were easily accessible with no long lines. They had pretty good food too as I got a bologna sandwich, nachos and cheese and a Pepsi. The parking was self parking as you could park anywhere on the grass. Entering and leaving the race track was easy with no traffic jams that I got into. On scene: They had a small fireworks show but nothing baffling about it.
