So which race tracks have the best food?

How are the prices?

Does it matter?

If it doesn't give me the shits the next day I'm happy.  I don't go to races for the food.  When I had my camper sometimes I'd pull that out with firewood and a grill.

The burgers at Volusia, East Bay and Golden Isles were better than the one at Burger fi. 

The best went away with Devils Bowl Speedway.

If we encounter so so food at a track next time there we eat before we attend. 

PDR (Plymouth, WI) has an excallent steak sandwitch optional cheese and the fries are decent. It requires standing in a separate line from the other food but well worth the hassle. You have to get in a different line for the drinks. Worth doing. Prices are decent. Almost makes up for the inconvenience.

141 Speedway (Wisconsin) has a great streak sandwitch also. Again requires standing in a different line. Price is decent.

Wilmont (Wisconsin) has so so food.

Beaver Dam both tracks (Wisconsin) have so so food.

I don't miss meals in general so the track food is important. However the sprint car racing at all the tracks is worth attending and why we go.

Knoxville: tenderloins and spicy chicken bites are solid

Eldora: spicy cheese balls

Beaver Dam: had Taco Bell tacos when I went. Actually pretty good.

Angel Park: had brats there that were solid

Cedar Lake: dad raves about their cheese curds to this day

West Liberty: known for the best tenderloins at any racetrack

Columbus Junction: excellent walking tacos

Lee County: funnel cake fries... makes you question why all funnel cakes are made this way.

This is my list of memorable foods at tracks. I'm sure there are more Im missing but most other places are just okay usually. Price? Just like anything else. Going up and getting worse. I also find as things go up quality goes down. Wild to pay more for less but such is the current direction. We used to be a culture where we catered to the customer and now the customer just needs to be thankful there is an option. This goes for more than just food unfortunately.

Selinsgrove Speedway has the best racetrack pizza hands down.

The best and it's not even close.

Fair week at Port Royal.

Fair week yes still. There was a time for a long time that Port Royal was the hands down winner in central pa. all year long buuut.

Fair weeks are cheating but that is some of the best times to attend races. If I can include that Davis Co fair in Bloomfield Ia always has local pie and ice cream under the grandstands during the fair races. Simply amazing and surprisingly cheap. 

The grilled tenderloins that I had at Independence, IA were much better than those that I had at West Liberty.

Noted. Only been there a few times and not sure I ate there either time. 

As long as it's edible, I'm good with whatever is offered. Pizza, chicken, soft pretzels. I don't eat much at the track.

Knoxville food is good but $6.50 for a cheeseburger seems a little high. Prices have really gone up since checkered flag consessions took over.

Any track that the Tlton Hilton is in the camping area. No need for race track food.

Cheeseburgers at Double XX speedway

PIzza burger at Eldora!!!! 

I always have my camper with me at ALL races I go to, so I haven't eaten at a track in many many years.  I DID have a steak sammich at 141 tho, not bad.  Pete, there is no "N" in Wilmot, just saying

The carmel corn at Jackson Speedway used to be the best. They used to make it right in front of you.  We couldn't go home to mom unless we brought 2 bags back for her.
