How can this speedway have no reviews on Unilocal considering that 10 hundred million people have been coming here since the 1960’s? :) Our family has been attending these races since the early ’70’s and this is our preferred track in California. It’s a ½ mile dirt track so sitting up close can get you covered in some mud from time to time. There’s a lot of beer drinking that goes on and by the end of the night you have to be very careful on the red painted stairs going down as they are so covered with beer that it gets slippery. This is the more family friendly of the central California tracks as being at the fairgrounds the Merced PD staffs this place well. You don’t see the frequency of fights in the stands like you used to years back. My only complaint is that now the general public is allowed in the pits after the races(at a steep ticket price). That used to be free if you knew a driver or were a sponsor and not just anyone could go back there.
