Man does not live on French Fries alone.

Lincoln Speedway (PA) has several food trucks in addition to the typical Concessions Stand items. There's a Seafood truck, Ice Cream and a Funnel cake truck, but the one that really hits a home run is the BBQ Food truck.

Their Pulled Pork BBQ is to die for, and believe me I've eaten a lot of Pulled Pork BBQ! For $8 you get so much meat that it falls off all sides of the sandwich. You have to start with a fork so you don't waste any. They also have smoked Turkey Legs, Beef Briquette, and smoked Turkey.

What’s your favorite Race Track food item?

Tenderloin samich. Haven’t found one at a track that blows my mind, but most tracks have decent ones.

Hate to say this about a track who's track itself I don't like much anymore.

But Bernice set up Eldoras Menu and pricing right The Marinated Hot Wings are awesome. The Fries could use some improvement but the selection and price and ability to handle crowds is awesome.

I have to agree with Charles, for the selection & price eldora is hard to beat.
I think it was Salina ok that would open their concession during the week for the locals.

Lebanon Valley Speedway in New York had the best setup I’ve seen. Everything is $1,$2,$3 etc. they have booths to change currency from larger bills to $1 bills, then you pay with the $1 bills. The concessions don’t have to make change. The line moves. Different booths for different foods etc.

Never figured out why other tracks don’t do this.

A few years back, at Thunder Valley, when Mason was running the promotions there, whoever was doing concessions there served up a mighty good tenderloin samich, fact is, everything on the menu was good, so much, that sometimes I'd forget what we went there for!

I have to echo those that have sighted Eldora as a track with superior food. In addition to the food being reasonably priced it's very good in regards to quality and quantity.

However, the absolute best food we've ever had at a dirt racetrack was at a place that no longer exists. We were lucky enough to have attended the 2004 Western World Championships out west at Manzanita Speedway and they're Mexican food was to die for. We're not huge Mexican food fans but it was truly exceptional at Manzy.

I have not been to Bton in a while, but the last time I was there, they had it set up kinda like that, food was good and the prices were fair, I thought.
