Looking for some info for first timer tonight. How is seating do I need to get there super early? Can you bring in drinks? Etc.

Also what is the temperature normally like in there?!?

No food or bev carried in. The parking is reasonably close so we pack a cooler and dig into it when track prep is going on.
They sell basic track food at a good price. Would expect top row seating to be reserved so go early and leave a jacket in the seat you claim so you can walk around and not loose your spot. You'll probably need the jacket by the late heat races as they will open the place up some to alleviate the fumes. Have fun and enjoy the show!

Get there a bit early to get a good seat. It's all on the main straight and you at least want to get up four or five rows. The first couple rows are below track level. As stated, parking is right in front of the arena and there are a few track reworks. They do the reworks pretty quick but . Restroom, trip out to car 15 minutes or so and they're back racing.

Arena temp is a little above outside temp. back door is kept open as cars must exit to refuel outside. However, no wind, no rain. wear a light coat or layer so you can take something off if needed.

I'll be watching on Speedshift.TV Enjoy. it's a racy joint.
