Does anybody know if camping is allowed at Big Diamond Raceway. Heading to the All Stars show this weekend.

Thanks in advance!

He is not joking about the bears, the push trucks had to run them out of the pits the night we were there.

Only "bear" we saw this past Friday was Chris Windom.

If not at the track, there are some of the nicest campgrounds in the country all around that area.

You can camp across the street for nothing in a grassy area.

It may be difficult to find your tent/camper through the dust! And after it settles you my need a shovel to dig a way in....LOL Big Diamond is by far that dirtest dirt track in the world!!!

I also saw the real bear at the USAC show last year or 2 years ago. I'm still excited from last weeks USAC race can winged cars put on as good of a show? I guess i have to go Sunday to find out.

YES you are allowed to camp at BDR....We do it a couple of times a year so we can enjoy the cold adult beverages lol, we did it last week for the USAC show...."Dirtiest track in the world", lol, cmon, PLEASE....You very rarely ever get hit with the dust at BDR, as the norm wind direction is at your back in the stands (pits ????)....Not sure how many tracks ya been too, but I've been to MANY tracks where the dirt/dust is FAR worse than BDR....On a normal Fri night there is hardly any dust at all....When the sprinters come to town, that changes of course....The past couple of years when USAc was there I know they prett much ran the dealon track prep there, kinda a funny deal there, as I know they would have liked to worked the track more last Fri night before the feature than they did, but they were basically doing what they were told from what I hear (GREAT source by the way, lol)....I was at a race Tues night at Penn Can Speedway for a RoC mod show, where it quite possibly could have been the dustiest race I was ever at, lol (other than races at Flemington back in the day, lol), as it was coming down on you, and about a quater mile down the road like it was a light snow, lol, NO BS there....But the racing was GREAT, and I'm at a dirt track, and if the racing is GREAT, I'll take it, dust/dirt or not....And last Fri's race at BDR for the USAc feature was OUTSTANDING.
