Dont spend your hard earned money here! The owner won't stick to his word in payout, he tries to junk other drivers during racing so he can "make a show", he is a hazarz to every driver on that track. If you eat here say a prayer you won't get food poisoning. Yoho doesn't follow food safety measures, some food I swear is reheated from the night before, ketchup and mustard bottles just left out in the weather. The bathrooms are disgusting! He doesn't pay drivers the amounts that are promised! Find another track! read more

We went here today to watch the races. The gates opened at 530PM. As of 6PM we still couldn't get even something to drink. The rest rooms looked like they had not been updated since the 1960's . There was no soap or paper towels. Very nasty. I got a refund and left. We will never go back again. read more

Went to jeeps gone wild event, watched some racing, ate some food, just an inexpensive night out watching legal racing.

Best local Racing in St. Petersburg area. Now that they added the super late models once a month makes this a go to destination for any NASCAR fan. read more

Was there for the first time today. First time at a track with my car. The staff was great and walked a first timer through the process. I really appreciated it. read more

good place. fun. $15 cash per person to enter. bathrooms are not great, bring hand sanitizer

I'm really loving Showtime! The 1/8 mile track is the right distance for the really fast cars, without the speeds getting too high like on a 1/4 mile track. The staff has been friendly, and the guy that gives you the timeslip is always ready to offer some advice to improve your time. Not fancy or anything, but there's no other way to have more fun for $15 (to watch), plus just $10 more to race all night! read more

We are new to the area and love local racing but this was a Very disappointing facility. Place needs to be bulldozed and start from scratch. Seats all splintered people stumbling. Refreshment stand a joke. And they're was some idiot yelling "showtime" over the so called loud speaker. Whats up with that? Didn't go today for Sundays racing its just just a dump. read more

Changes at the track are looking great. Removing the death trap stands by the drag strip looks great, The stands used by the pits I hope is next read more

This is family fun for all ages. Kids 12 and under get in free, one kid per adult paid admission. Tonight there is a School Bus figure 8, and it's always a fun evening. The modified racing is as fast as you would want to see on a short track! read more

Take time away from the beach and enjoy a night of short track racing at Showtime Speedway. Plenty of seating. Family friendly. Great racing. Many classes of cars. I loved that the racing moved along. No lengthy cautions and quickly able to tow disabled cars from track. I appreciated that the owner made himself visible on the track and in the stands. read more

It was an okay track. I went for a drift event and was appalled at the lack of safety regulations. I have been scca club and tt racing for years so I have become accustomed to proper equipment and what not. They we're just letting anyone drive anything around the track in the rain and that made it feel a lil Bush league to me. It was a pretty good time overall but it was just very unregulated and unsafe. Sliding around a track with no training, no roll cage, and no harness or fire suppression system. The upside is I guess it keeps these guys off the street for a night. They were all bragging about street racing and that was another turn off. The lack of professionalism in the track officials and the people in the event kinda killed it for me. read more

The racing was ok, but they had a low car count. Also with the construction the track entrance was hard to find. Next time I am in Tampa Bay I would go back. The food was good but a little high in price also you could not bring any in. read more

This is probably one of the race tracks you wouldn't have fun at if you've been to Daytona International Speedway. I didn't expect anything nearly as prestigious as Daytona, and I was right. The seats look like they're about to come crashing down at any second, and some do not stay upright. The races are alright; there was plenty of carnage on the track, and an easy to find concession stand. The entrance to the speedway is no longer where Yelp lists that it is, and it's hard to find if you don't know where you're going. The current address for the speedway is 4398 126th Ave Clearwater, Fl 33762. The drivers of the cars were nice and they even let me sit in an old Acura Integra. There were also a bunch of old Camaros and Trans Ams. As for the sprint cars, they are DEAFENING. You NEED hearing protection If you go here, or any race track in the universe. It's not the best race track in the world but it's still fun. Just don't expect anything like Daytona International Speedway. Those are my thoughts. read more

Me and my family will never go back to this place! The lady that runs the gate is drunk and VERY rude! The owner's daughter and friends sat out by the bathrooms and concession stand and were calling the spectators and patrons things like "fat" and and other choice things in earshot of these people. Very uncalled for! The womens bathroom is a whole other story. Lets just say I didn't want to touch ANYTHING inside of the bathroom. Used bloody tampons and pads stuck to the walls and toilet tank. I like to watch the races but until this place puts in some improvements I will not go there and I will let any friends know that want to go there about our experience. read more

I have been coming to this track since I was 15 years old, I am now 52. I have never left before the show ended until tonight. I agree that people are scum when they park in handicapped spaces but I would never be belligerent about it. I have an Aunt that is in a wheelchair and I do know how valuable a space is that has the extra space needed to get her in and out of her wheelchair. Before you can threaten your customers, those people that help pay your bills, you should acquire the proper signs to hang on the fence that state the statute number and fine amount. Without these sign violators can not be fined. The very faded notices you have painted on the concrete are not view able if the spaces are filled. The person sitting behind me said he had no idea he had blocked a handicapped space as this was his first time at the track. The man on the speaker tonight was being very ugly in the way he yelled at the fans for not following the rules. He yelled at everyone, even those who did follow the rules. Second, is the man that sits at the gate that goes from the stands to the Pitts an employee? He is there most of the time. Wouldn't it be his job to keep fans from carrying beer into the Pitts and if so, shouldn't he be the one getting getting yelled at for not following the rules? read more

Showtime was a favorite childhood memory of mine, back when it was known as Sunshine Speedway. When news came that the race track was reopening a few years ago, I had really high hopes, but after 8 or 9 visits to the track over the past two years, I'm truly not impressed. The overall impression is that the track just has piss-poor management. Programs that start late (the July 4th special we saw in 2014 started almost 90 minutes late do to bad direction from the staff), last minute changes to the race rules or program the day of the race, airing the business' dirty laundry with fans and drivers over Facebook, flip-flopping on important decisions like calling the program for inclement weather and honoring rain checks. I truly believe that the management has the best of intentions, but bad decisions and lack of direction undercut all their work. I honestly hope they bring in some more administrative power in to work out their kinks. read more
