It's a great track for non wing, and very nice facility.
True, parking and concessions are not cheap, and you are not allowed to bring in outside food or drinks.. Many tailgate before the races. I think the track offers pretty fair ticket prices especially if you buy all 3 nights. I would think its the most competitive non wing race of the year with the best of Midwest meeting the best of the west (and few Norcal and AZ) racers... 3 days of 410 non wing at Perris Although we hardly get rain, if in the rare chance we do, PAS will do all it can to get all the events in (which might mean two shows in one day or a Sunday Night race. I would stay an extra day and spend it in San Diego on Sunday (Just in case u bring the wet stuff out west Whenever I go back East, i always fear rainouts with no make up date Bottom line, if you got the time and $, its a no brainer and bucket list for all non wing fans. (But just remember traffic is a ***** around so cal and plan accordingly. If only attending races, Ontario is probably the best place to fly into. the fun thing about multi night events, you make new friends with all the people sitting around you. Hope u can make it. |

We've flown out to SoCal for the Ovals at The PAS 3 times and Turkey Night once and we've never been disappointed. As has been said earlier, the facilities are second to none and the sound system is by far the best we've ever heard at a racetrack. The PAS also has the best PA race announcer in the business behind the microphone.
I'm sure the track periodically dries out but we've never seen that happen for the prelim nights nor the Saturday night finale' the 3 times we've gone to the Ovals. The one time we've been to Turkey Night (the year Kyle Larson won it) the track got dry slick and the cushion worked it's way all the way to the wall but the racing didn't seem to suffer as a result. As also mentioned above and I will reiterate, there is a charge to park and concessions are pricey by small town Midwestern standards but one must realize this place is very near the 2nd largest metro area in the country and it is, after all, Southern California. I would recommend going to the Ovals, the track setting, the facilities and the racing are all worth the effort and expense. I would also add that if you're going to all 3 nights you might want to consider spending the hours before the racing begins at some of the winery's near Temcula and also the Old Town district of Temecula. In our opinion it is well worth the effort and Temecula is only about 1/2 hour from Perris. Have fun!!!

I had heard of In-And-Out burgers for years. I always thought that they couldn't be that much better than other chains. I wouldn't say that my first one was a revelation, but it was certainly really, really good! Their reputation is well-deserved.

Go at least once.
As a retirement gift to myself, I went in 2011 to the Oval Nationals. Marv was going to go with me but he had family obligations. So I went by myself riding the train to Riverside. Stayed in Moreno Valley. I brought rain with me and the last day was a two show in one day event. The track is noticeably smaller than Terre Haute, but it was in good shape that year. It can get cold there, even in November. First track I ever visited that sold wine. And had a no smoking section. Concessions were high but Ken Wagner warned me about that. I did go to In-and-Out once. It was okay. Yes, if I can, I aim to go back someday.
