What are the pros and cons of both?
Dirt - Pro: Fast, wild, and exciting when the track is prepared well
Con: If the track is not prepared well, it can produce single-file racing.

Asphalt - Pro: You know how the track will be before you go.
Con: Some tracks only have one groove that can be run.

Which would you pay to go to first, a dirt race, or pavement race?
I would go to a dirt race first, aside from a couple pavement tracks. There are a couple dirt tracks that I would skip to hit a pavement race, also.

Where is the best pavement track as far as sprints and midgets?
Winchester, Salem, IRP, Irwindale, Toledo, Mansfield, South Georgia, Phoenix, Iowa, Richmond of the ones I've seen.

Where is the best dirt track?
Perris, Manzanita, Eagle, Sun Prairie, Knoxville, Belleville(both), Haubstadt, Bloomington, North Vernon, Lawrenceburg, Gas City, Kokomo, Boswell, Eldora, Lima, K-C, Bulls Gap of the ones I've seen.

Which do you prefer overall?
I prefer dirt races, but I also like variety, and I love the look of pavement cars. The adrenaline rush of Winchester is hard to match, ANYWHERE!
