Mountain Creek Speedway. Catawba, NC. Participant.
Their race director could not be there so I was asked to fill in for the day.
This track is SMALL. Well under a quarter mile. No way full sized race cars could compete here. They basically ran two separate shows. Kids classes at 2pm, then micro sprints and some other class around 5pm. The four kids classes were actually more entertaining than I was expecting. Brexton Busch won one of the classes and there was a Samantha Busch sighting. LOL. I don't know the classes but they looked like karts with cages, body work and some had wings. The micro sprints brought 32 cars for $1000 to win. 4 meaningful heats and two meaningful B mains. The other class had 5 cars. They ran 20 cars in the A Main and they were busy out there. Always in traffic! It got a little dusty but it was run in daytime on a very hot sunny day. I think it was $15 to get in. There is no pit pass. $15 for everyone I believe. Not alot of grandstands but it is a very scenic venue tucked away in the woods. You have to drive a good half mile across farmland down a gravel road to get there. They don't run every week as the family in charge runs a farm so they're too busy. Good surface. Excellent catch fence and Whelen safety lights in all 4 corners. They're doing good things here. I'll definitely return in the future!
