Macon Speedway — Local services in Macon

Great people and a great turn out for a special race and my first visit here.

But, and it is a big but... It had me thinking on my hour and half drive home. Thinking how many tracks I have been to in over 45 years of dirt track races, the four states I have gone to races in and the 15 different tracks. All of that being said, this was easily the worst track conditions I have ever seen. What a disappointment for us fans and it had to be terrible for the drivers and their equipment! I love this sport and for it to continue for small tracks like this it has got to have a better racing surface. Aside from the equipment and the drivers getting beat up, it hurt the experience for us fans. Watching your favorite driver go out from a broken car, or settling into a safe 4th place finish for points or climbing the wall and really tearing up their car not to mention the lack of the drivers ability to pass on the rough surface and add to the competitive nature of the sport.

This could be a track I would easily drive down to for more events but at this rate, I don't foresee many of these drivers coming back.

Hopefully they reach out to other tracks (Fairbury?) that have people that could help them fix these terrible conditions.

Cars made it a while lap before a caution was thrown. There were also track officials consuming alcohol during the races. How are you supposed to be responsible for this race and the safety of the drivers but impaired at the same time. This is the first time I have been there since the new owners took over and I have to say it wasn't a good experience. I also commented on their Facebook post letting them know about the incidents and they deleted my and blocked me from commenting. I mean what are they trying to hide. Impaired officials create a very dangerous environment. They charged us extra admission for the twin 50s but then only ran 30s. It was all together a...

Well it's August 10th 2024 and I absolutely love my dirt track races and I've been coming to the races since I was a little girl and I have been paying for VIP SEATS EVERY YEAR BUT I THINK THIS IS MY LAST YEAR BECAUSE EVERY TIME WE COME TO THE RACES WE HAVE RANDOM PEOPLE SITTING IN OUR SEATS WE TELL THEM TO MOVE AND SHOW THEM OUR TICKETS AND NO ONE THAT WORKS HERE COMES UP TO CHECK TICKETS SO NOW RANDOM PEOPLE JUST COME AND SIT WHEREVER THEY WANT ITS RIDICULOUS LIKE ITS NOT OUR JOB TO TELL PEOPLE THIS IS PAYING VIP SEATS I HAVE EMAILED THE OWNERS THAT HAVE IT NOW AND STILL NO...
