    Default Pocono Raceway?

    Hey all, my wife and I will be heading up to the poconos camping this weekend and going to the nascar race. I was searching the site and only found one thread that didn't really come to any conclusions so I wanted to ask again: Is it legal to carry at the race? Do they wand/frisk when you enter?

    Also, I think I know but is it legal to carry in state parks now? We will be staying at a state park while we camp and I just wanted to double and triple check.

    I have a lockbox in the truck if I can't carry in the raceway, just wanted to know if anyone knew. Thanks for any help!

    Click this link you need adobe reader version 9

    http://www.poconoraceway.com/images/fanguide.pdf

    its the rules and regs of pocono raceway. From what i read, you can NOT carry at the raceway unless you are LEO.

    On page 3:

    The possession of any kind of weapon, fireworks, and/or any items that are restricted by Local, State or Federal laws. This policy includes those who have a permit to carry a firearm, excluding law enforcement personnel. There are no provisions for checking and holding weapons.

    Hope it answers your question!

    So would this include:

    cigarettes / tobacco
    beer / alcohol
    over the counter medications
    prescription medications
    ......

    What isn't restricted by local, state, or federal laws?

    I caught that too Chemical. I wish that could be used as a loophole around it.
    Also, your welcome Moose, Glad I could help.

    I was last there two years ago. I didn't carry that day, as I had never been there before and didn't know what to expect (wasn't a member here yet). When entering through the gate security was doing the normal check of bags/coolers, but no wanding or pat-downs of actual people. It seemed to me that they were looking for glass bottles, umbrellas, beach balls, etc...

    On a related note... I was at the Dover race this year. I don't have a license that gives me Delaware, so I was not carrying. But their security check was the same as I found at Pocono two years prior. I walked in with no bags and wasn't even slowed down going through the line.
