OK, here's the question. List 5 tracks in the U.S that you have never been to that you would like to visit. Money, travel and time are not an issue. Sorry no time machine for this one must be a current track.

1- Tri-State Speedway Haubstadt, IN (yes with all the tracks and trips I’ve made to Indiana if never made it to this one)
2- Bowman-Gray Stadium Winston-Salem NC. (The Madhouse, this one’s been on my list way too long)
3- Angell Park Speedway Sun Prairie, Wisconsin (Any place that runs Midgets as their main class is pretty cool in my book)
4- DuQuoin State Fair Grounds (Really want to see Silver Crown cars on the mile)
5- Kalamazoo Speedway (The Zoo. Would like to see Sprints there)

1. Knoxville. Need I say more
2. Skagit. Sounds like a great place
3. Syracuse. Dirt week sounds awesome
4. Bowman Gray. Have to see it once
5. Ventura. After seeing it on tv it looks like a beautiful place

I've been very fortunate to visit many many tracks but these have escaped me

Regarding Syracuse, if you go for the week, you need to hit up the satellite events held on Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday nights. Last year Wednesday night had a small block modified series race at Cayuga County Fair Speedway. Thursday night you can choose between a 10K to win 100 lap modified race at Brewerton, or go see the WoO Late Models at Rolling Wheels. I did B-ton last year because I love the place. Friday night heat races for the Big Block Modifieds are run at night on the mile, and then Saturday you have WoO Sprints at Rolling Wheels, or a 50 lap 5K to win modified race at Five Mile Point (in Binghamton NY). Last year I did FMP because once again, I favor FMP over the Wheels. Very busy, but fun week if you hit up all the satellite shows...

1. Tulare (Loudpedal video of the Trophy cup made this place seem AWESOME!)
2. Ventura. Right on the ocean has to be really cool!
3. Belleville KS (Especially this year with the Crown cars)
4. Kokomo (Hoping to have this one checked off my bucket list this year)
5. Tazewell TN. Non open wheel track but have seen some super cool videos of that place. Looks intense!

Pretty much any track in Indiana. Need to hit Sprint week one of these years.

If time machines were included I would have Ascot and Manzy at the top of the list respectively
