This is a really nice race track. They maintain the track is extra care that most tracks can't compare to. Plenty of parking and the tickets are a fairly good price. You can order online or just pay at the gate which is convenient.

Well organized and well kept. It's a great place to visit. When we were there they had shuttle services from parking lot to entry

Had a lot of fun here at Breakaway music fest. Plenty of parking and the event staff were all incredibly cheerful and kind. Plenty of open space. We saw amazing peformances by some of some of our favorites including Gryffin, Chainsmokers, and Lane 8. Will definitely be back if we're in the area again!

Loved my experience at zMax Dragway. The whole site is well kept. Lots of food and drink options. Best part was how accessible the pits area and many different viewing areas. Make sure to bring some sort of hearing protection! Very very loud. I had a fantastic time and I'm still wowed by the Nitro cars.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.
