thats too hard to choose, all the sprint week races are great no matter the venue, plus all of the venues always produce great racing

I haven't been to Kamp, but of the other six (I luv 'em all) the BEST IMO:

LAWRENCEBURG SPEEDWAY

Why?

Track produces great racing when it's dry slick or tacky all night. Doesn't seem to matter.
Grandstand comfort. Not a bad seat in the main or turn 2 stands IMO.
Excellent concessions.....selections, price, and quality.
Cherie and Sam the 50/50 gals.
Bozo would bar me if I said otherwise.

and

Just to be different than Dyno Don.

but mostly

1.3 miles from the FishBurger mansion. :22:

I still haven't been to omokoK but Haubstadt is my track. You know you'll see a good race and track surface there and I've very seldom left the place disappointed.

I'm going with The Burg Great seating fast track and close to the house !
But i'm going to Bloomington Friday for the first time so we'll have to see !
Hate Gas city only because i can never get there early enough to get a high seat and the track " Turds " hit pretty hard down low ! LOL Loved Tri-State last year !

Bloomington with TriState a close second
A bad race at either joint is very RARE!

Maybe Puterbaugh would show up then, if they make it a LPS points race.

I have been to most of the tracks (not Tri-State or new Lburg) --- Bloomington is my pick with Kokomo a close second. I saw an awesome Kokomo race there this past Mem. Day Weekend. I also liked Lincoln Park so I wish they would get it together.

Later, JERSEY

So is the last scheduled SW show on Friday? Thinking of possibly rain days for THAT's because "Scattered thunderstorms possible. Highs in the upper 80s and lows in the upper 60s." forecast for Wednesday. I hope it doesn't happen, but knowing THAT's history with mother nature.... (just in case it does rain.).

Bloomington - it's the only track to host Sprint Week every year plus the partying is great.

I have never left a race at Haubstadt dissapointed so it would my choice. I love the history of THAT, but the racing isn't always the greatest. I still go every chance I get though.:6:

The 'Burg! They try hard to put on a good program and the facilities are the best in the nation.

i love terre haute.... second favorite track... behind the magic mile of DuQuoin

Have been to all except Kamp, and each is racey and unique in its own way. The facilities at L'burg are second to none. Kokomo great racing, rest rooms need upgrading. Bloomington a great traditional experience. THAT big, fast lots of memories. Gas City, great racing, but one particular gripe. As a fan who travels over a 1000 miles for Sprint Week I find it irritating that no matter how early we get there all of the primo seats are covered with "reserved" blankets, etc. I often saw seats go completely unused or at least not used for much of the show. While I understand that one must be sensitive to the regular show fans, why not clear the grandstand for special events so that we all have an equal chance at seats.

Tri State Speedway is the top for me. I've been to all of these tracks except Kokomo and the new configuration at the Burg. No matter how many different places I've seen none have ever been as good as the very first track I went to at Haubstadt. Terre Haute is a close second because that guy in the 20 car seems to take home a lot of hardware when he races there.

Re: VOTE: Which Indiana Sprint Week Track Is The Best and WHY?
 
Kokomo has the best racing! You can go to any weekly show at Kokomo and see some of the best racing the US has to offer. I've been going to races for over 30 years, and have been to each track in the great state of Indiana many times over and my money will go to Kokomo. Tri-State has some slide jobs and some good racing, but Kokomo seems to be a hammer down track with a distinct high groove and low groove and many times a middle groove with cars moving all around the track to pass. You can usually see 3 and 4 wide throughout a race.
