Mercer Raceway Park

My fiance loves the races. We go to tracks at Lernerville and Sharon. We also go to this track on occasion. I have been dissapointed everytime i have been here. This has got to be the worst track in NW PA. Lets first start with the outrageous price to get in to the place. I call it outrageous because, it is less expensive to get in to the better tracks in this area. We are always greated by obnoxiously loud music that actually hurts your ears. Not because its too loud, it just honestly sounds like crap. Oh well, lets go find our seat. So we pick a seat that later becomes surrounded by people with their 3 ft coolers of beer whom will later be screaming profanitys regardless of how many children are sitting next to you. Well, we might as well go get something to eat. After spending the amount of what it would cost for a nice family dinner at Applebee's on cafeteria burgers, cold fries and a drink, we get back to our seats to watch endless caution flags and the car on the pole almost consistently winning the race by a huge margin. As we are leaving we stop to look at some of the merchandise. 70 dollars for two hoodies. I am not a cheap skate but, when I look at the hoodies and the makers name has been crossed out (apparently factory rejects) and you can tell the cheapness of the material, I know I am somewhere that is more concerned with robbing you than providing you with an entertaining evening. I am not against paying for high priced fair or race food or merchandise for a fun night with the family or my lovely fiance but, atleast most places make an honest attempt of making it worth it. Do yourself a favor and think of something else to drop $100 bucks on with your family on a Saturday night. This place is the trash heap of racetracks in NW Pennsylvania.

Racing is the best in the area, wouldnt go anywhere else thats for sure!
