Hampton is a small town with big adventures. A day in Hampton will leave you with tons of photos and some serious bragging rights.
Rev Your Engine at the EchoPark Speedway (formerly Atlanta Motor Speedway)
Just 2.5 miles from downtown Hampton lies the largest entertainment facility and the only NASCAR track in the Georgia. Track tours of EchoPark Speedway are available Monday – Friday and include a tour of the facility and three laps in the Speedway van around the famous 1.54-mile track. Tours originate from the gift shop.

Check “Helicopter Ride” off your Bucket List
Next to the Speedway sits a different type of “ride of a lifetime.” The Army Aviation Heritage Foundation and Flying Museum is a non-profit organization whose mission is to keep army aviation’s history alive. They do this through static displays in their hangar, located at the Atlanta Speedway Airport, and at events as well as through their ride program and air show participation. Gather five friends and book a ride in one of the UH-1 Huey helicopters or go big with the “bucket list” ride in a AH-1 Cobra helicopter. Both ride programs require advanced booking.
