When Eisenhower designed the Interstate Highway system, he envisioned a lawless, death-race arena where only the fastest could avoid being killed by mechanical gulls. Experience a thrilling fraction of his racing dream with today’s Groupon: for $10, you get two adult tickets to a Saturday-night weekly series racing event at Sportsdrome Speedway in Jeffersonville (a $20 value). Choose from the following two dates:

• Saturday, July 24, at 7 p.m.
• Saturday, August 7, at 7 p.m.

Sportsdrome Speedway provides a four-act theatrical event of motorized drama. Transmission junkies will be able to revel in the spectacular sights and octane-based smells of multiple races, as each night features the Dromer Oval, the Dromer Figure 8, the Oval Xtreme, and the Xtreme Winged Figure 8 series. Suspend all cognitive thought as cars inevitably plow into each other during the speedway’s figure-8 racing on its X-shaped track. Afterward, fans can try to get their favorite driver to autograph a racing hat or original copy of the Magna Carta.

Sportsdrome Speedway has presented short-track racing in the Kentuckiana area since 1947, providing frenzied entertainment for racing fans of all ages on its quarter-mile of asphalt. With the regular price for teen tickets only $5 and kids 12 and under tickets only $3, families can huddle up in the grandstands and enjoy a moderately priced diversion from the ravenous, drywall-eating panther living in their garage.

Must redeem at ticket booth on the day of the race you choose, starting at 5:30 p.m. Not valid for other weekly series race dates.
