It’s definitely a good time, if you don’t want to wait in a massive line, get there EARLY. I’m talkin 6:30 in the morning early. By 7:30 there was a line around the corner. Your allowed to bring coolers into the park. We chose to set up camp on a family friends property who lives right next door(with their permission of course). If you’ve never been to drag races before I suggest you bring ear phones because it is LOUD! You can also buy them at the park too. Your allowed to walk through the pits and if your lucky you can meet the drivers and take pictures. Bring your walking shoes!
