Race track food
 

What track has the best concession food week in and week out ??
And WHY is it good ??? Is it different than the usual offerings at most tracks ??
OCIR had what they called "STRIPS" and were like tortilla chips with a special "salsa".
Irwindale had IN-N-OUT BURGER doing the burgers......can't beat that !

Track food? Beings I have been away for a couple of decades, imagine it MAY have changed somewhat. I never really considered this stuff any kind of delicacy. I often have heard the term, the "dreaded" drag dog and can attest to this one. If you ever got one of those wieners that the skin was loose and you ate it anyway, you were likely going to feel the effects before the day was out!

Now in the deep recess of my memory, I do have one standout. Little dogpatch track here in Indiana, Brown County Dragway. Back in the 70's, they served a cold ham and cheese sandwiche. What made these standout, was the condiment, it was some kind of salad dressing with shredded lettuce mixed in. Those things were delicious. I was young, in my late teens, early 20's, I'd buy 3-4 at a time. Through the times, different managers and changing tastes, they were long ago dropped from the menu.

NO PROBLEM!!!! The crawfish boil.

No Problem Raceway in Belle Rose LA. Ross Laris puts on a great crawfish boil complete with corn and potatoes, and other things. Even their vendors cajun food is good. All of the local racers there put on a pretty good feast at the individual pit spots.

Silver Dollar Raceway in Reynolds GA has great pork skins along with their other fixins. Not to mention the ice cream place at the end of the track.

Orlando Speedworld's local boys are real good too.

Boy do i love to eat, this subject is making me hungry. Think I'll go and make me a pickled herring and Oreo's sandwich.

Brings back memories of the great burgers at Fremont.

I think it was the West Family that did the cooking.

Fast track, good food and being 21 years old, what more could you ask for.

GAG!!! I had a feeling there was something wrong with you. There gonna make you park near the port-o-crappers the next race if anyone sees you eating that stuff (and I thought peanut butter and pickles took the prize).

....and John, you're right...OCIR strips was the *****!!! (wished I was old enough to wash down with an ice cold draft back then)

Several years ago I was sent to pick up and engine during a race at Earlville IA. Got the engine but stayed for the race. I also had to eat. Tried the track food. It was hot, tasty, and very reasonable. The brats were my favorite. Great treatment, food and entertainment. Who could ask for more.

We had some great lobster rolls at Winterport Dragway, near Bar Harbor, Maine, at the nostalgia drags last summer.
