1. Don't forget to bring a flashlight, as Grandview is certainly the most poorly lighted soeedway in the country.

2. Don't forget to bring you goggles as Grandview is perhaps the dirtiest track in the country.

It also has some of the best racing in the country.  And I always felt the 76er was the best 1-day modified show going.  The dirt is fine...quells my longing to sit in the bleachers at Flemington again.

Flashlight point is valid, in fact a flashlight would be helpful at most Dirt tracks.

Sorry but Gandview is nowhere near the dirtiest/dustiest track in the Country.  It can get dusty when the sprint cars are there but for most modified shows there is very little dust.  I can name many tracks within 150 Miles of Grandview that are way worse with dust.  

Yes but for as many laps as the grader and water trucks turn on that track in one night, it should be as smooth and clean as my prom date.

Dit's not too bab usually, but if they could get rid of the smokers, CLEAN UP THE BATHROOMS, and throw out the people who insist on bringing two blankets; one to sit their fat butts on, and one to put on the seats in front of them so nobody sits in front of them

 Love the racing at Grandview but would not list it in the top 15 tracks that are fan and Handicap person friendly that I have visited over the years . Go to the New Bridgeport and Grandview will be a Memory the best racing in the Country in the 602 sportsman cars .
