What tracks have grandstands near the finish line ?
Ennis is the only one I can think of and maybe Pomona.
Too many tracks have grandstands that end at or near the 1/8th mile !!
That is the main reason I don't attend too many races anymore.... :-(

Maple Grove, just outside of Reading Pennsylvania, has grandstands near the finish line. They have a National event, a Div.1 race, and the Dutch Classic National Open there every year. I attend all 3 and I always spend some time at the finish line at each of them.

Come to Englishtown.The old tower is relocated right on the 1/4 There's 2 stairways to the 2nd level and one to the roof.The second level has picnic tables too.The 1000' finish line has stands at national events.A photographers dream as you're high enough to get the whole car in the picture in spite of the concrete barrier walls.

Sounds like my kind of track !
At Pomona it's neat to sit as far down track as possible and as high as you can get.
A lot of the old racers are often sitting up there.....and lots of stories !

Englishtown has a tower at the finish...with beer sales. No better place to watch sportsmen at the nationals.
