. . . a Steve Nace Racing Promotion
Sunday, July 14, 2013
This is the Make Up date for the June 16 event, which we cancelled due to rain.
Watch fast-paced racing on the 5/8 mile Peoria TT track, with racers hitting nearly 100 mph on the front straight, before pitching it in sideways around Turns 1 and 2. Hold your breath as they fly over the jump, and then set up for the right-hander the instant they land. …..
Family Tradition / Family Value
A lot of the folks who come through our gates are second and third generation Peoria TT race fans. We often talk to adults who tell us they were at our track a lot while growing up, because their dad or uncle raced here back in the day. Experiencing a Peoria TT race with your kids (or nephew or niece) is a great way for them to connect with local history, while building memories for them to carry forward.
Peoria Motorcycle Club urges you to bring your family to our events, so we’re taking steps to make our facilities and program more welcoming. Some of the things you’ll find include:
> Reduced, youth-friendly admission fees.
> Easier-to-purchase Advance Sale tickets - now available HERE…online.
> Clean, fresh restrooms for the Ladies.
> Hand Washing stations located throughout the park.
> Prize Drawings - we’re working on getting some nice items!
> …and more.
Admission Fees
> Advance Sale Tickets $15, At the Gate $20 Go to the Ticket Booth page for info about Advance Sale Tickets. Learn where to buy them locally, or how to order them online.
> NEW Children 13 & Under with a Parent, admitted FREE
> NEW Middle School and High School students, ages 14 - 18, with a valid Student ID, are only $10 at the gate. Since our races run after the school year ends, the ID can be valid for any month in 2013. Expiration dates from 2012 are NOT valid.
Schedule of Events
> 7 am…..Racer Registration / Pitting Begins
> 8 am…..Gates Open to the Public
> 11 am…Practice Sessions
> 1 pm…..Heat Races Begin
> Intermission (length based on the needs of the officials)
> Main Events.….We will broadcast over the PA before the first main event begins, so spectators can return to their favorite viewing spot.
Open Pits & Autographs
> The pit area is open for a while prior to the races beginning, allowing fans to take a closer look at all the high-performance machines and to say hello to (or have your photo taken with) your favorite racer.
> Some race teams may have merchandise for sale, and you can have it autographed right on the spot. Or bring your own shirt, poster or autograph book, and ask your favorite stars sign it.
Concession & Beverage Stands
> PMC has several concessions stands throughout the park, serving our world-famous PMC Burgers (made with secret ingredients), butterfly pork chops, hot dogs, chips, nachos, candy and soft drinks. Our prices are very reasonable - far better than most entertainment and sporting venues… anywhere!
> The Bartonville Lions Club sells ice-cold Budweiser and Bud Lite beer. You must have proper ID to prove your age. THERE IS NO Outside Alcohol Allowed Inside the Gates, beyond the parking lots. If you bring in your vehicle - leave it your vehicle. We perform cooler checks!
Souvenirs, Novelties and Displays
> In addition to the PMC concession stand, you will find several specialty-food vendors in the infield, selling items such nuts, popcorn and sno-cones.
> We normally have two T-Shirt vendors - one selling shirts with AMA Flat Track graphics, and one selling Peoria TT shirts - silk-screened on the spot, featuring that day’s event.
> Although it varies from year to year, we often have vendors selling items such as hats, sunglasses, glow-sticks, etc.
> A.B.A.T.E. always has a display for their Fallen Ride fund. We have also allowed charitable organizations such veteran’s groups to display their information.
> Future plans include more motorcycle parts and accessory vendors, offering chrome and leather goods.
..Notice: If you are interested in having a Vendor Booth at one of our events, please
..contact us via the phone or email addresses listed on the Home page.
Handicap Parking
> Those with handicap license plates or other permits for disabled parking, may park inside the second gate at the top of the hill overlooking the track. We have a canopy-covered concrete pad to offer a flat and stable place for wheelchairs and folding chairs.
> To access VIP parking, enter the grounds through the North Gate. Look for signs that identify VIP, Press and Handicap Parking. Please DO NOT enter the South Parking Lot near the club house. You will have to turn around to exit, which isn’t very easy to do.
