Not sure what changed this year and why, but the food was terrible. Only food on the front was burgers, fries and hot dogs, BBQ sandwich, Back side had a lot more to choose from, but had to get a pit pass of 10.00 if all you wanted to do was to get something to eat. They had walking tacos, Gyros, cheese curds. Have to say was disappointed. Burgers on the front had to send back twice because they were raw.

Waited in line for about twenty minutes only to have them run out of food. Got a 2 dollar bag of popcorn that should have been 50 cents.

Food, Insignificant!!! I dont go to the races for the food. I'm more concerned as to what happens on the track. I'll take great racing and a stout field of cars over food anyday. The racetrack is not a place to expect a quality meal anyways. Usually I'll eat before I head to the track, or I pack something in a cooler. Lots of talk about food this morning, I think I'll go have breakfast.

That's right, eat before you go to the track. That's a great way not support your local track. I don't think most people demand a quality meal at the races, but it should at least be respectable and at a fair price. Food and beer is how many tracks come out ahead. We've all talked about the french fries at this track or the burgers at that track, so food at the races is important not insignificant. If they ran out of food at Princeton last night, shame on them. Pretty poor planning if you ask me. And the burgers were not cooked?!?!? Like they would say on ESPN Monday night countdown.......C'Mon Man!

The Princeton 4H handled the food concessions in the past but whoever was in charge of the concessions hired private vendors this time.

Let`s face the fact that race tracks are not in the food business. I don`t often buy track food , but I do make a point of eating local before going in to the races, or breakfast after. Preferably at a sponsor of the track. Support those who support the track.

They ran out of food because they dragged the show on and on. How long does it take to run 2 sprint classes.. I think the beer vendors call the shots about timing. Show started late also. Cant beat the 4 H food, why didnt they sell the food.

First and foremost I support racing at many tracks by purchasing a ticket/pit pass. I'll usually purchase beverages and a beer or two if I'm not driving. As well as pay for parking at some tracks. In the past I've bought t-shirts, programs, souvenirs and tons of other merchandise. So please don't make such a bogus statement that by not purchasing food that I'm not supporting racing. This whole food thing is obviously very important to some fans, but not high on my list of priorities. To each his own I suppose. By the way, Knoxville Raceway has the best food.
