So awesome I have been going to this race for 20 years now the venue is fun, a bit expensive but if you bring your own food and drink it is cool. Parking can be a little rough took more then 30 min to get form our gate to where we were parked so plan to leave early to get there by 7am
Overall a very good race and track! My friends and I had a blast cheering on our favorite drivers. Also, may areas to buy merchandise with a wide variety of souvenirs. The shuttle made travel to the car and track very easy since we were park about half a mile away from the track. The overall experience was great and we had a ton of fun at the race. We have attending now four time this race and the experience is great every time. The only downside is parking, wait times for food, and the restrooms. It seemed like this track didn't make the proper adjustments to deal with the large volumes of traffic on race day. It took us about two hours to get to the track and park and about a hour and half to leave the track. Traffic is always expected at big events but I been to many different sporting events (Soccer, NBA) and never struggled with traffic as much as I have each year I gone to this race. Also, it recommended to take snacks and drinks yourself because the wait line are long. Horrible restrooms, and sinks to wash hand were hard to fine, some didn't even work. Overall once at the track, you have a blast if you go prepared with sunscreen, snack/drinks, and patients leaving and entering the track.
What an unforgettable day in Sonoma! The weather is always so beautiful and the view is just so awesome! Who could ask for anything more but to be able to sit looking out over Gods country and get your redneck on at the same time! I love Nascar in Sonoma!
Can't wait until next year. You can walk the whole track and see so much. Vendors are reasonable. All in all a fabulous time... bring sunscreen though!
Seeing the IndyCars at Sonoma is a must-do for any race fan in northern California. The speeds these cars maintain is incredible, and there was perfect weather for a Sunday out; if your family is not into racing, it's still a nice event. If you have been to a NASCAR race at Sonoma you know the track, and the IndyCars are significantly faster. It's great to watch!
I brought 3 friends who have never been to the drag races. They thoroughly enjoyed it and I plan to bring more friends who've never been. Too bad the alcohol cars can't share the day, so I hope they hurry up and find a solution to safer fuel cells and bring them back with the Nitro cars.
I went on Sunday to the Sonoma nationals and had a Frikin awesome time I plan to go back next year...
As in the past the Races thrilled us. I'm sure to be attending again in the future. Though at the price of water at the event I think I'll bring my own. My son showed interest in the drift racing that was advertised so we may add that event as well. I would like to see a better organized exit to the event.
Nothing compares to being there n hearing n feeling the cars as they pass you down the track. Amazing!!
everything was FANTASTIC except for driving in and driving out. be prepared for a 2-3 hours wait to leave (maybe tailgate AFTER event), and sitting in traffic for at least an hour getting into the parking lot. this may be alleviated by getting to the event around 7am (gates open at 6am).
Food was crap, spoiled by food at charollett and Austin circuit of the ave raceway, both mentioned tracks made leaving the parking lots a breeze, I've only missed 5 years out of 25 yrs of NASCAR at Sonoma . After last expierence I'm done, time to visit more tracks and leave the home track to TV
I LOVE this event. The only reason that I didn't give it a 5 Star rating was because of the parking. Going into the race, there were lots of people directing cars. Leaving the racetrack it was every man for himself. It took 1-1/2 hour to get out of the park. No one directing cars. It was a mess.
Great day. Arrived at 7 AM so entering and parking was a breeze. Race was very exciting. Had great view of track and the extreme rumble of the cars adds to the excitement. This race has become our annual event. Grandstand Restrooms were perfect. Would recommend they add pancakes and steak and eggs and Starbucks to their weak breakfast selection. Add more benches for handicap folk to take a rest from the long walking. Was easy for us to exit raceway for ride home, as we hung around and watched the post TV show and the Haulers getting loaded. We were fortunate to have cool weather. Perfect day.
Everything is within easy walking distance. Parking was well organized. Racing is always great.
The racing was great, which was exactly what I expected! Notable absence of some of the competitors, but overall I enjoyed watching the races and browsing through the garage area.
First WTCC race in US! very close racing, a lot of action, great race to watch!
The race was great. Wish they have more booth\vendors to check out outside of the track, but overall it was a very fun day
The racing was awesome, unfortunately the facilities at the track were weak, they apologized for not being ready for such a crowd, but this is a weak excuse, they knew the ticket sales before hand.
Event was very entertaining. Staff was friendly and courteous. The pro teams well organized and very entertaining to watch.
