Default A Few Questions About The Ridge Motorsports Park

Hey guys,

I have a few questions regarding The Ridge.

- What kind of food does the restaurant have?

- How many water bottles should I take with me (I'll be doing photography for 3-4 hours and it'll be around 90 degrees)? My camera backpack will probably fit 2, but suggestions would be great.

- How much open area is there on the inside (between the track) of the track?

Thanks in advance!

Restaurant??? There is no restaurant. Either the club provides lunch with your entry or sometimes they arrange for a catering truck to be there.

Take a bunch of water all though the sponsor will probably have water available.

Infield space varies greatly depending on where you are on the track. There is a viewing stand up on the north ridge, but other than that you need to clear with the sponsor and safety personnel as to where you'll be allowed to set up

Have fun and post some of your shots for everybody to see.

Thank you!

I had no idea that there's no restaurant. I contacted them last night to ask and this was their answer:



I'll definitely post my shots sometime over the weekend (I usually post about most events I attended in the area)

There's typically a small food shack that serves fast food, coffee, drinks, pastries. Nothing fancy. Sometimes there's a mex food truck too. A bit on the pricy side for the quality, but it's all about supply and demand!
If you are active, plan on a bottle every hour. If not active, may be half as much. It'll get pretty hot on sunny days.
If they take lunch, you can drive into town for bite, if you are willing to drive. Actually pretty decent Asian restaurants in Shelton.

I don't think Track Night in America has a built in lunch break (it's from 3-9), so I'll probably just stop and grab a bite on the way there since I live an hour and a half away from the track.

Thanks for letting me know about those events. I'll try to come out if I'm free one of those days.
