AT THE SPEEDWAY

Food and drink

At EchoPark Speedway, fans are allowed to bring their own food and drinks into the grandstands, making it easy to enjoy familiar snacks and manage costs over the weekend. Just keep the following guidelines in mind:

Personal food policy

• Guests may bring food and beverages into the grandstands (glass containers are not permitted)
• Up to two bags per person are allowed, each with a maximum size of 18" × 18" × 14."
• One soft-sided cooler per guest is permitted, with a maximum size of 14" × 14" × 14."
• Cooling tip: Freeze plastic water bottles before arrival to help keep food and drinks cold
• All bags will be subject to security screening at the gates

If you prefer to eat on-site, the speedway offers a wide selection of food and drink options throughout the venue, with permanent concession stands and additional satellite locations in every grandstand area:

Communications

Before heading to the track, it’s a good idea to download and save key information on your phone, including tickets, maps, schedules, and driver details. Mobile networks can become unreliable on race day due to the large crowds, so having everything stored offline can be very helpful.

If you’re meeting friends, agree on a clear meeting point and time in advance – it’s often easier than trying to coordinate once you’re inside the venue.

Noise

Motorsport events are naturally loud, and noise levels increase the closer you are to the track. While most adults find it manageable, bringing earplugs is recommended. For children, proper hearing protection is strongly advised to ensure they remain comfortable and safe throughout the day.

Weather

Late February in the Atlanta area is usually mild, with cooler temperatures and softer sunlight compared to summer events. Sunscreen and sunglasses are still recommended on clear days, especially if you’ll be outdoors for long periods.

As temperatures can drop later in the afternoon and evening, packing a light jacket or extra layer is a sensible choice. Weather conditions can vary, so checking a reliable forecast closer to race weekend is advised. For detailed, real-time updates, the Windy app is a useful tool for planning ahead.
