Great place to work if you love cars and racing

Overall 4yrs working there was the best experience I had. I got to meet drivers, fans, and flag races and meet great people too. If you like racing and a fast pace environment I would recommend you check them out during their seasons.

Busy and Fast Paced

Busy and fast paced. Always out in any weather conditions doing multiple job duties. Very tiring conditions considering your in the sun all day long with little to no shade.

Awesome

You definitely get a lot of walking done while there. A large track with places spread out all the while taking photos. It is very quick paced place too.

Manual labor

Pretty much what you would expect for blue collar manual labor, long often back breaking days with less than esteemed managers. You get to watch race cares all day though.

long hours not enough pay

I only worked there seasonal but was not able to make enough to live off of. Work days go from eight hours to over twelve hours a day. Most people who get hired are teenagers who do not understand simple directions.

Fun workplace

Enjoy time outdoors, great place to work, everyone is outgoing and friendly. The drivers are very friendly. Everyone is wonderful and friendly
