For those of you who have never been to a dirt track stock car race or haven't been in a long time you should attend this event.It is sponsored by the Delaware state police and all proceeds go to Camp Barnes.It is one of the biggest races of the year and it attracts drivers from as far away upstate New York and Canada.You can bring your cooler with food and beer and have a really fun time. Oh and bring a designated driver if you are going to be drinking beer no glass bottles.Bring the whole family you will love it.For real young kids you may want to bring some ear protection.
