Beyond the drag strip, ORP is well known for the natural beauty which the facility sits on. The venue, which uses the 1/8-mile for the drag-slick events and the 1/4-mile for the street-tire races, also boasts some nice man-made features including a three-story tower with concessions underneath.
There is an Accutime timing system as well as concrete barriers 800 feet down the track. There is a huge shutdown area, along with plenty of paved parking spots. Ozark Raceway Park offers a variety of Extreme Fuel and Oil Products to its racers.
