I LOVE the racetrack itself. The elevation changes, the off camber turns, the bowl, the esses... -- GOSH!!!! AMAZING! I wish we had a track with the same technicality closer to Chicago. I usually ride the motorcycle days here with Sportbike Track Time. However, the bathrooms are HORRENDOUS! I mean "want to gag or throw up" disgusting. I mean "afraid to sit down" disgusting. Graffitti is all over the walls of the stalls. The mirrors are etched with carvings from what seem like teenage girls. Do I really need to read that "Kate loves Mike" (with a heart around it) while I'm in the bathroom stall? (in addition to other proclamations of "love" in the bathroom stalls?) Also by the end of the day, the toilets are clogged and no one fixes them. The water that comes from the sink really stinks. At least they have good soap (economy sized Dove with moisturizers, phew!). The showers are sooo gross and the shower curtains look like they are from the '80s and haven't been changed since. (ew!). The curtain is even falling off the shower curtain rings in one of the stalls. I have never showered there -- too scared to. All of the times I've been to Grattan, we've had to find hotels in the area for the weekend. It would be more convenient if we could camp and if the bathroom facilities were a bit cleaner. It makes you want to wish you could hold off on going to the bathroom until you could leave the racetrack. Additionally, the concession stands don't have much selection for lunch. Hot Dog, Bratwurst, Chili Dog, Chips. I can't complain as I am sometimes in the mood for that kind of food. Summertime does that to me I guess. I have a soft spot in my heart for Grattan Raceway as I've always enjoyed the track itself, but gosh, I wish they'd fix the bathrooms especially if you have to spend the whole day there. read more
