THINGS TO DO BEFORE/AFTER THE RACES
Apple River Tubing - If you haven't tried what has made the Apple River famous you are missing out. Tubing down the river is an experience but add nearly another thousand people and you have a party. For a small fee we provide to and from Float-Rite Park and an inner tube to enjoy the day under the sun. We will have you back to the track way before hot laps start.
Driver Autograph, Meet & Greet - Before the races come to souvenir alley and purchase an event T-shirt, your favorite driver's shirt or a die-cast and get the driver to sign it as the top drivers will be there to answer your questions, snap a couple pictures and sign your souvenirs.
Party in the Pits - Rub elbows with your favorite drivers, buy them a beer and enjoy the music in the Cedar Lake Speedway Arena both Thursday and Friday night after the races.
