they had just finished the oval track that day so they just had practice. it is normally open Saturdays for 10am to 12 for practice and then from 12 to 9pm or whenever racing is done from what I understand. also it is open to the public and as of now they do not charge anything for practice. I think its $15 to race if you are a non member and then $10 for members. I think membership is $50 for the season.
