PHASE I: COMMON RACE TRACK PROBLEMS

A complaint can be lodged by a spectator, employee, or racer, albeit most complaints are from the customer.  Below is a gallery of a few race tracks that I recently visited.  Although the purpose of these pictures was not to point out problems but rather to assess the types and amount of facilities at each site, upon reviewing the pictures it became blatantly obvious that there were many problems. 

These photos were taken all over America and cover the: the Northeast, northern Midwest, and Southwest.
