  • Occasional police patrol. PF cops are assholes!
  •  Interesting Features
    Well, I would have said hardly used wooden roller coaster but...
    On the 12 acre property race fans would enjoy seeing the car bodies and rc car users may like the high bank oval and big parking lot. The 80,000 square foot building itself has been gutted and is being remodeled.
    The whole property sits on an "island" that is surrounded by creeks and a river.
     Security Measures

     History
    Was a Nascar oriented amusement center owned by various race teams and drivers. I worked here in 1998 in the retail store that was once inside. I also watched over the ticket booth and sometimes operated the Cyber Coaster. A year before closing down a wooden roller coaster called "The Intimidator" aka " Thunder Eagle" was built over what was the back parking lot and they only briefly used it due to some city regulation that that bitch Dolly Parton dug up because she was afraid it might cut in to some of her Dollywood profits.
    The combination of the rollercoaster incident and the opening of Nascar Speedpark a few miles down the road caused Race World to go belly up.
