Waynesfield is a throw back to the old days when they built a race track in the middle of the country. A neat little bullring that I personally enjoy all types of racing. Dean Miracle has taken over the promotional reins and has done a great job. Track prep has improved and car counts have been good as well.

When I have been there, they have run a very timely program with a short intermission in the middle. The concession stand has a very good menu and pricing was very good as well.

Gerry Keysor the track announcer does a great job of keeping the fans informed. I would highly recommend it to anyone.:6: I have even enjoyed the other non open wheel classes that they run there.

Thanks Mike, The tracks actually five miles down the same road that my dads uncle lives on (Were always great friends and great to me). Uniapolis. I plan on visiting for awhile and heading over to the track. :)

Mudpacker pretty much summed it up. The racing is normally always good and i think you will enjoy the track.

Charles, Its a nice track, reminds me of the old Lawrenceburg 1/4
You will enjoy yourself, If you seen Dean (promoter) tell him i said hey!! and for that matter all the sprint teams, I'm heading to Twin Cities to catch the action there.
Have a great weekend, Dave

Was at Waynesfield for the first time recently. Good racing, reasonably priced food, and bring your own cooler. They don't sell beer there.

I would also add a couple of things.

If you like to be out of the sun for the earlier part of the program you can sit in front of the press box for shade. THe sund will be behind you.

If there is any wind it seems to blow away from the grandstands which is great.

FInally, There are usually two flaggers. The flagman is very entertaining. He gets really pumped up for the sprint shows.

Oh and hte most important thing. Restrooms. Portajons behind the stands and regular restrooms down by the consession stand (past turn 4). I usually hoof to the regular restrooms because there can be lines at the portajohns.

Waynesfield is a great track. I'd recommend it to anyone. I went to a Summer Nationals show last year and made it back to Canada by midnight!

I have some shots from right under the pressbox. The grandstands face East. I have a Canadian cellphone and a US cellphone and both wouldn't work, Wapakoneta to the West, and Uniapolis to the North did have reception though. Not the tracks fault, just mentioning it for those who care.

Check out the "Around the Track" gallery for the basic layout here:http://www.apexonephoto.com/UMP-Summer-Nationals

USAC Sprints and midgets last night, Sprints on Dirt tonight!

Charles, what will you be wearing, If I make it out I'll probably have my dirty ol sprint car hat on & a late model shirt that says Straight up 8 up on the front.

Re: Waynesfield info?

Re: Waynesfield info?
 

I'll be sitting on the top row on the last aisle towards one in a Jack Hewitt shirt if any one wants to chat.Thanks Denny

Re: Waynesfield info?
 

Charles, looking forward to seeing you tonight. I'll be the loudmouth with the microphone...lol

Very appreciative of all the great things said in this thread about our little slice of heaven at WRP. We all try very hard to provide an enjoyable show every Saturday night and I sincerely hope that that comes across to anyone who comes out.

Looking forward to seeing who can pick up the 2nd guaranteed spot tonight for the 2nd Annual Jack Hewitt Classic at Waynesfield on August 7th. Should be a tremendous show for the holiday weekend.


Hope to see everyone there!
