Race track boston ma

Originally called the Readville Trotting Park, the track opened on Aug. Crowds came by rail from New York, Boston and Connecticut and passed through the grand columned entrance gate. Readville made front-page news in , when a pacer named Star Pointer broke the two-minute mile, the first standardbred racehorse to do so. The track made international news again in when a trotter named Lou Dillon ran the first two-minute mile.

In , auto racing started at Readville and caught on quickly. For years horses and cars shared the same dirt track, which threw up so much dust it rendered goggles useless. Coincidentally, next door to the track was an airplane manufacturer, the Sturtevant Aeroplane Company. Let me tell you once you put those on you will also be overheating.

They did not have enough neck braces available when we were getting ready so one of the team members assured us that they would get us one BEFORE we started racing. They forgot and we immediately received a RED FLAG so everyone needed to stop immediately so they could give one of my friends the neck brace which they forgot. They did not help us with suiting up or figuring out how everything went on. The only thing they assisted with was putting down the extenders for the pedals if some of us were too short.

RACING We all shuffled into our go kart based on the left most board and each race begins with the single file cautionary lap. Let me tell you those flags that they waved were extremely confusing and inconsistent. One of the people would be waving Yellow and another would be waiving Green then another waving Yellow.

They weren't a huge stickler for giving out warnings in our group but I got hit repeatedly. There's obviously no power steering so there's a lot of upper body force needed to direct the karts the way you want them. If you get hit you will be jolted.

I received several lovely souvenirs of bruises all over my body. See the photo for the largest bruises that were in direct contact of those horrible seats.

I happened to get hit or spin out and end up stuck several instances in areas that had no one immediately monitoring what was going on so it took several moments for someone to help me as these karts have no reverse direction. At the end of our scheduled session one of the guys working at the lower level was trying to print out our scores in vain.

This seems like a common occurrence after reading previous reviews. Don't even expect this. Only the last race seems to matter for the winner to do their victory lap. In addition this kid felt the need to commandeer one of my friend's phones to put his phone number and snapchat handle! We don't need your creeper vibes! Overall this place is way overpriced for the drenched in sweat, sore all over experience you'll receive.

What's the point of even making us wear those tattered suits and setting aside an hour to waste for "orientation"? Full view. All photos The area. Best nearby. Legal Sea Foods. Ascari Restaurant.

This place was dead as a door nail on Friday and Saturday night.

It was close to the Hampton Inn so it was good cheap food and it had a bar - the only bar nearby. I have no idea how this place stays in business it is empty.

Anthony Hartford, CT 5 contributions. The races are over priced and the staff is the worst. Maybe they should hire some people with some customer service skills. Never coming back either will the 12 people we brought there. Learn how to treat people.
