I can't judge tracks I haven't been to and probably can't name five of each.

Underrated. Florence KY what was a bottom only track is now a two groove rim riding spectacle.
Millstream. Only been about four times but enjoyed every damn one of em.
Burg. II's what Eldora used to be. On the absolute edge.
THAT. If you know what your looking at. You'll understand. It takes awhile to be good there consistently. Glad it's consderably safer than those block concrete walls it had.

Overrated?
Eldora, Before he Prelude crap and banking removal. It was breathtaking. Sliders for life in three that he whole grandstands would rise to see if the pass would stick.
Fremont. Once was enough. Flat, slick and dusty as hell.
Tri State. Been twice. It's neet but the two I went too there were no passes up front.at least none that stuck. Brandon Pettty won easy and Casey Riggs the other.

Just posted to see what opinions people have on tracks.


1). LaSalle Speedway
2). Kankakee (for just about any class)
3). Tri-State Speedway (IN) (Great Racing no matter the division, wish it was a weekly track)
4). Lincoln Park (for sprint cars)
5). Boone Speedway (Just about as good of a weekly show as you can ask for)

Honorable Mention
Davenport, Wilmot, Butler, East Bay, Path Valley

What 5 tracks do you consider Overrated?
1). Eldora Speedway (decent and fun but I think the track prep and racing could be better)
2). Fairbury Speedway (Great track for specials. The weekly could be even better)
3). Farmer City (IL).
4). I-55 (I think it's good but not as good as people make it out to be)
5). Lernerville Speedway (Good but the racing could be better)

I55 has had a lot of awesome heat races.

Underrated

Spoon River - concessions are the only knock I have on the place. Limited, slow & not very good IMO. Just eat on the way to the track if going here.

Lincoln Park (love that place for sprints/midgets) - place looks kinda plain but it puts on some great racing. Also, a small child could be lost in that cushion.

Overrated

Eldora for late model shows - quality of big track lm races has fallen off a cliff due to the aero changes. Love the place but the LM ain't what they used to be there. Still great for the sprint cars.

I55 as mentioned above does tend to fade by feature time. Tho I did see a spectacular covid WoO show there in May 2020. 65 or so cars from all over the country & Yung $ won that night.

Granite City - kind of similar to I55. Track typically gone at feature time & they don't run a quick show there.

Now the good news - even the "overrated" tracks are still pretty darn good & I have willingly gone to all of them many times.
