Besides total lack of concessions and restrooms and shotty facity ripping up the track twice for major delays is a good place to start. 1st and last trip as a spectator.

I'm not there this year, but attended several of the past WoO shows at Princeton. I have mixed feelings about the joint. The racing has always been very entertaining. Probably some of the best slicing and dicing I've ever seen. However I agree with the cluster they have had set up in the past. I don't know if it's SLS to blame or the track or who. The facility stinks in general. Not much seating and the seating they do have, they cram you in tighter than any other track I've been too. One of the years I went, you had to stand in line to buy a food or beverage ticket, then go stand in another line to get what you want to eat or drink. This was an absolute farce. It had something to do with the 4H kids selling the concessions. Regardless, it was ridiculous. But the racing was really great, hence my mixed feelings on the place.

SLS isn't in charge of concessions or track amenities or lack thereof. That's on the track itself - SLS just rents the track for the night's racing and sells the tickets.

This year you did not have to buy tickets to get food, but the food was terrible this year.

I haven't been up t Priceton since about 1965 when they were running the modifieds and everyone was getting drunk in the pits. The fights were more fun to watch than the racing!
The racing was very good tonight, but I really can't justify their ticket prices. I bought mine on the internet and the total for myself, my daughter and her 4 year old daughter was $91.00! ! ! ! Every other track I've been to, all over the country, lets kids 5 and under in free free. My grandaughters ticket was $17.00. Talk about gouging your fans, this is ridiculous. I talked to one of the staff after the race and they said the race had been a sell-out. The place seats about 3,500 so, doing the math, my guess is that they took in about $150,000.00. When you subtrract expenses and the sanctionig fees, you still come out with a huge profit. Well, I guess they can get away with it, but the WOO has lost this fan after tonight

The last time I was at Princeton it took 5 1/2 hrs to run a 27 car field, we saw allot of Farm Machinery on the track. I had a Scanner tuned in and they lost the keys to water truck, a comment was made between the WOO and the track to get the show moving and the man that ran the track stated "This is their show but this is my track and I will run it as I please" Never went back

Yes the set up with the food was a disaster but the racing was great. Ofcouse they had to grade the track twice. Its a friggin 1/4 mile with 50 sprints on it. It was also sunny and dry tell 9pm. Any 1/4 in the world would need to be resurfaced a few times in these conditions. Sure glad the re did the track because the A main was a great race. Dobmier almost pulled it off.

I agree, conditions were not good, Stands were very tight, show started late, Next time, if there is one for me,I will be in the pits.. Felt like a sardine stuffed in a can..sat in the stands from 6:30 to 11:45..way to LONG..As much track prep as there was racing...Good for beer sales I guess..

That seems to be a cause with many tracks. We will rent you the track and the ticket sales. However, the fair board gets the beer and food sales and is in charge of it. Osky did that to my dad in the 80's. with no food or beer money it broke his regular show. He just got money from the tickets

Whether it is the IRA, SLS, WoO ect... It is never their fault.
