Wondering if they use metal detectors at the gate or just check purses and such...

Couldn't find it on the web page regarding scanners, I've been to Bristol for NASCAR but it was a while back, don't remember seeing scanners there.


BMS has also issued a list of prohibited items, including drones, folding chairs, laser pointers, umbrellas, selfie sticks and any kind of weapon, including ice picks, guns and knives, regardless of state permit.

“Prohibited items discovered during security inspections must be either returned to the owner’s vehicle or discarded,” the speedway website states. “Unlawful items that are discovered during security inspections are subject to confiscation and the person in possession of those items is subject to arrest.”

I'd say leave it in the car....


Rules n Regs/Prohibited Items

They used Wands on everyone for the first time at Richmond this year.

It will probably be my last time to go. I gave up on other sports when they started security theater, now this one.

Been a few years so it probably won't help now but a half hearted look in my back pack filled with camera gear was all I got then.
