The track is on 20 acres of land my brother owns. It is behind his house. There is no entry fee, no pay out. There is no charge for spectators. Donations are appreciated to go toward porta john rentals and fuel used to prepare the track.
The track is several years old now. Design was influenced by Bob's. A few of us have run on labor day. We just decided to step it up this year. I would say over a 1000 people show up for the tractor pulls, participants and spectators. Some campers don't leave until Sunday and some spectators may come back for the the buggy race on Sunday.
Last weekend, the track was chisel plowed, disked, rolled and then it rained which further packed it down. It rained a significant amount so after, I cut drains on the inside of 3 of the turns to pits we dug in the infield. I pumped the water out of the pits spreading it around the infield to reduce water wicking out of the track.
Street trucks can pull on Friday night, 2wd. There is an entry fee, but no payout. I won with my Excursion last year.
