Reserve seating is available for the Oval's in the form of a 3 day reserve pass. The reserve seating has seat backs.
Silver Crown Championship Dirt Cars properly driven on a one mile dirt track are classic poetry in motion. Using that analogy, Jack Hewitt is one of the greatest poets of all time.
Been there many many times always for the Ovals and Turkey night. Great sound system Great lighting Great concessions{expensive}Great racing Great track announcer What more could you want ?

LOL! Kind of agree, but I grew up in Michigan and loved White Castles! Can get a fresh In N' Out within 5 minutes, but it is a couple thousand miles to get a fresh White Castle!
Be advised, once a person reaches a certain age, (around 30 in my case) their digestive system can no longer withstand the explosive pressures generated by those lethal little "sliders".
Major thread drift! But I guess my original question was answered, Perris is cool, I'm gonna try to go...
Have at it on hamburgers...
Know what I miss? Howard Johnson hot dogs & fried clams!

No Ho Jo's out here in Cali, but there are some great fried clams at the beaches. As a kid, I loved those fried clams in the Ho Jo's in Michigan. Will trade some In N' Out for a bag of those, too!!!
Scott's allowed Rev; he's the PR guy at Perris and it's his dulcet tones you'll hear over the P.A. if you go.
A little too much steamed onion may adversely affect the vocal cords Scott; better think twice on the sliders. At least keep the consumption rate under a crate...
Re: Hamburgers on the way to the Oval Nationals.
In-n-Out is OK at best. Five Guys will kick their ass all day long. Farmer Boys is only about a mile from the track and serves up a decent burger if you didn't have time to stop anywhere else. It's a lot cheaper than eating at the track.
But, if you're travelling through San Diego, the single greatest hamburger ever devised is found at Hodad's in Ocean Beach. Just head down Newport Avenue and look for the hungry people standing in line. Absolutely worth the drive and the wait. A behemoth of a burger that requires 5 napkins, minimum.
Honorable mention goes to Slater's 50/50, also in San Diego. Close to the airport, their burgers are made of 50% beef, 50% bacon. Expect to wait here also.
