Ty,

A different type of facility when it comes to seating. Concrete area bleachers that many people bring lawn chairs and sit between the rows of permanent seats as Bill said. Turn 4 has grassy hill side seating for lawn chairs as well. Also a small set of regular bleachers toward the turn 4 side of the main grandstand area. Pitside is a larger set of regular bleachers.

If you have never been to LPS, I would highly recommend it. Joe Spiker has done a great job in bringing this track back to life. The track is rated as a 5/16th mile with tight high banked turns and longer straightaways. A good sprint and midget track with good fender racing to boot. Well worth the trip in my opinion.

Coolers allowed but no alcoholic beverages allowed to be carried in. Ample amount of parking with plenty of area to tailgate and enjoy a cold beverage or three.

My first time to LPS was yesterday to visit Mowerman and that place looks like a golf course! Great place for a race track with the stands cut into the hill side! And Rob track employee helped me get a room in town that is clean and affordable! Can't wait till Thursday!

This seems to be the remark from most on here, lol. I planned on going just never been for a midget week race. I've been to some midget races before where less than 20 was there just checking on what the knowledgeable folks think.
