Picture directions to the track.
OK here are some quick directions with pictures to help you find the place if it is your first time.
From RT 13w you will make a right when you reach this intersection.
A couple of blocks down the road you will find the armory and you will turn in where it is marked in the next pic.
Once inside the gate you will see this.
Drive straight down the hill to arrive at the offroad track or park your car and head around the corner for the carpet track. The entrances are shown in the next two pics.

I really like the idea of $25 and run as many classes as you want. Since I just about have a car for every class looks like I'll be super busy on a race day cause I just can't let one sit at home for a week when it could be racing. Can't wait for the track to be done, I'm sure a crew from the Paducah area will make it up!
