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).

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.

You can get that same Lobster roll all summer long at Jordans Snack Bar Rt 1 Ellsworth Maine 30 miles North of Winterport!

Best Race track food on the East Coast is at ATCO!
Sway's Chili is The BEST!

Back in the day, the food at OCIR was good, but now days
the food at Irwindale's 1/8th mile is pretty decent.

They have 3 food vender trailer, one sells mexican food (it is
SOCAL you know), the second sells hamburgers and hotdogs
and the third sells BBQ sandwiches (I like that one the best).

You can get a pound, yes a pound of ice cream at Norwalk Raceway Park for $1, about 20 different flavors ...

A few years back we went to one of the Super Stock Reunions at Rockingham and signed up for the optional "cookout". Unlike our regular burgers and dogs, there was a tasty selection of southern style food. I enjoyed it along with the southern hospitality.

I think the best food is when we have a cookout and DINKEL brings the salsa. we have keilbasa, of course bathed in beer, kraut, and corn on the cobbski along with a few brewski's(only one). Neat that!!!

Hard to beat Norwalk's buck ice cream. In D1...Numidia Dragway since the DiMino family took over is great!! ,right up there with Atco. ....Italian ice brought in from NYC! ....It really helps when the owners have an obvious love of food! .......Worst food in D1, Maple Grove since they turned it over to a food management company. .....Tom

Dragway 42 has burgers that are hard to beat. Fresh ground beef, not frozen processed crap.

Re: Race track food
 
I am surprised no one has mentioned Pittsburgh Raceway Park and the Tedesco family. Great food, lots of choices and different stuff. Not many tracks can you get spaghetti, meatballs and salad.
