In the event of rain, the racing will be temporarily suspended. Every effort will be made to complete the program after the rain stops and the course is deemed safe for competition. If officials decide the bad weather will prevent the return of safe racing conditions in a reasonable amount of time, the remaining races will be postponed or canceled as follows: If no qualifying or heat races have run, your rain check will be honored at the scheduled rain date. If a portion of the qualifying events has been completed, 50% of the value of your attached rain check will be honored at the next scheduled event. There will be no refunds on your ticket if the main event is more than 50% complete. Please keep your ticket stub as the rain check is attached. You must present your ticket with a rain check stub attached for compensation in case a portion or full rainout happens. NO REFUNDS.

Re-entry is permitted if you leave the grandstand area during an event but you MUST get a re-entry stamp on your hand before you exit. You must present your stamp and ticket stub for re-entry. The pit area gate is closed once racing starts and not re-opened until after the last checkered flag.

There are no refunds on tickets or camping except if we completely cancel an event due to weather or other unforeseen circumstances. There are no refunds whatsoever for merchandise.

We offer three types of grandstand seating. Our premium seats are located in the top two rows and are stadium-style seats (arms and backs). Premium seats are sold for the season only. Our bench seating is available as reserved or general admission.
