Seemed like we drove way out in the country then wow there is a raceway! It was an awsome time watching that kind of seed and power on the track. Only down side of the place was the restrooms. Food as always at sports events was high but not more then most places. Seats where good but for just metal bleachers i would have hoped for more full track veiw.
IF you like car racing, this top dragstrip track has some of it all .AMBLE PARKING IN Adjacent fields. Suggest you bring ear plugs though!! Some special event weekends - so check the website; Super Chevy; Fords; Keystone Nationals; just no NASCAR.
Drag racing you have to love it to drive 8 hours from Montreal to Reading PA just to watch TOP FUEL and FUNNY CARS rip down a 1/4 mile track. HELL YA I was telling my son that you have to see top fuel dragster up close and personal to really get the full experience.So after spending the day at the track with my son. I asked him what did you think? WOW they are damn fast & loud, it's in sane the speed they hit in under 4 seconds Like any out door event you go to be prepared make sure you have money for drinks, food because its not cheep but well worth itWe saw a few people having tail gate BBQ parties when I go to an event like this I prefer to just buy my food there it's a little pricy but no head aches of what to bring with you road trip with my son to maple grove raceway PRICELESS We were there October 5 2013
It is a nice place to go to if you are into Cars & racing if not then don't go also alot of loud noise so if you don't like that then it is not for people that don't. I love to see people race & have fun so I go to see it all also that is the place to race not on street where other people are to do there everyday thing like some people do & then wind up killing someone for the stupidity so if you are a person that like things like racing stop on over to Maple Grove & see for yourself.
We had an exciting afternoon at Showdown At Sundown at Maple Grove Raceway Saturday May 24th 2014. Different classes of drag racers including Top Alcohol and Jet Cars. Great seats and excellent fan accomidations.
I have gone to the Auto-Plus Nationals (N.H.R.A. Mello Yello Drag Racing Series) for the past 3 years and had a great time, but I know things could be better. Watching the drag racing, especially when they are breaking national records (most years) is fantastic, I had the opportunity to spend time with some of the drivers and we had a blast. But the staff do not keep the park cleaned up too well (like Raceway Park in Englishtown N.J.), especially the bathrooms, and yet they want you to tip the attendants.
Have waited 40 years to attend a NHRA championship event, finally made it. Access and facilities were excellent but you need a cushion!The racing was fantastic
My family and I had a great time at NHRA. We chose to pay for parking so we could tailgate. The lot is near the entrance, so we were able to head to the parking lot when there was time. Check out the bar across the street - fun times!
Maple Grove Raceway is located within 30 minutes to Reading PA...it's mainly a drag strip, but also features "car show" weekends and other events. Mainly I have visited more than a couple of times to the NHRA Nationals that occurs every year. What a great experience.
I attended the American Muscle all Mustang show at this raceway. It was huge enough for well over 2,500 pre-registered Mustangs as well as a few thousand more that showed up. There were about forty vendors as well as food vendors set up. It is located in the middle of "noplace" and a perfect location for the event I attended. I used to drag race here about forty years ago and it still looks the same. A very well kept property and I will be back next year if they hold the event here again.
