Not sure what you are talking about "random poles" NEMX has a row of poles and so do we. Ours are bigger but don't come into play. Never had any one even "randomly" hit one. A couple people have fell over in a rut and dropped their bike on them or the padding on them I should say.
I would have to disagree about track prep from what I hear week in and week out all winter.
Like you said it is all personal preference. Every time our track or another track is changed there are people that like and dislike the changes. Go where you like.
By the way we have brand new lights and it's nice and bright now.
Open this weekend. Still have some more work to do on the track next week to get some of the options in like usual but it's good. Rife and Willard liked it anyway.

My personal preference is that when I go to a track, I want to have a good time at a good track and get my moneys worth. Not only is NEMX (for example) a better track to ride, but the entire facility is BETTER. Examples? Sure!
- Parking:
NEMX: Plenty of room to park.
RamJams not so much unless you want to park in the hood.
- Sign Up:
NEMX: Easy to sign up at a counter in an organized office.
RamJams: A card table in a little room that is packed with people all the time.
- Heat:
RamJams: Doesn’t know what heat is, besides that little room where sign up is that is packed with people all the time. And the only reason that room seems warm is just from all the body heat.
NEMX: Has a large viewing room that is actually heated.
- Staff:
NEMX: Professionally run and very organized and you can hear what is being said over the PA System.
RamJams: Basically the place is a cluster F, and the place is run like crap. Its almost like the people don’t want to be there and it shows in their crappy attitude. You cant hear crap over the PA, and you don’t know who is up or for how long, …
- Pit Area:
NEMX: There is no designated pit area room, but there is plenty of room to pit 100s of bikes.
RamJams: They have a lil room to pit in, and it’s a cluster F to get in and out of there when people show up and you block each other trying to pit in there.
- Track:
NEMX: Big fast track, plenty of jumps, long straights and lots of corners.
RamJams: Tiny little place that you can not get any speed and has one tiny jump.
