I have never been there but i hear mixed reviews. Some say that the guy in the staging lanes is a real ***. And I also hear that it gets crowded with ricers and import crowd. Anybody else have any ideas about this place. I'm interested in checking it out

prep isn't the best, but depends on what night you go for the crowd.
I've had days where I had so many rruns I just parked my car for the night. GRudge lanes are pretty cool if ya have some friends you want to race.

It's not bad, you get a ton of runs typically. I've never had an issue with the staging lane guys, but have heard of a couple incidents of douchebaggery.

Weren't that many ricers last time I went in late '11. I went to help out some buddies, raced my DD that day and ran a 15.3 and I was probably the slowest car there. I don't recall a lot of rice and those that were there ran respectable.

Track prep is usually terrible. However, it's cheap to run and you can get as many runs in as you want.

Douchebags go everywhere... Island can do no different
