Having only been to three. Old Queen City. IRP and Winchester.
Queen city was ok.
WInchester was boring to me, Steel winning by half a lap. Well I don't consider that racing
IRP. Slidejobs and side by side racing. Oh wait, thats kinda like Dirt!
IRP for me

Non-Wing: Winchester (Little 500 is good, but nothing beats the hold-your-breath action at Winchester; also, if you go to the show in April, you get to see a good CRA super late model race).
Don't know where you live, but the Friday night USAC show at Richmond is usually very good. The last two that I went to had multiple lead changes and exciting finishes. Also, you can stick around and watch the Silver Crown and IRL on Saturday.
There will be a USAC show at Shady Bowl in Ohio this year. First time USAC's been there (that I'm aware of), so the teams will be coming into this without any set-up notes. Should be interesting.
Wing: Again, the King of Wings show at Winchester. Last year's race was awesome with Shane Butler having to go to the rear at the re-start and coming thru the field to win. This is co-sanctioned with AVSS and HOSS.
Another awesome show is the AVSS show at Toledo in mid-June with the ISMA Super-Modifieds. If you want to see great open wheel short-track racing on pavement, nothing beats the super modifieds. Any show for them is usually pretty damn good (Hy-Miler at Sandusky, Mansfield, Jennerstown, Berlin, Dixie, Lorain). Or, come South in November and watch the East-West Challenge for Supers at Concord (along with North-South Shootout for Tour-type Mods).
Someday, I plan on hitting several HOSS shows. They run at a lot of Indiana tracks that I've never been to (Plymouth, New Paris, Angola, Illiana
Speaking of Sandusky, I know they are only 305's, but their regular sprint class has some great racing.

Richmond is a pretty cool place for the sprinters.

How about this?
August 9 HOSS runs with the ISMA supers at Mansfield, then goes to Winchester for the King of the Wings the next day.
Since its two races in 24 hours, can that count as my must see pavement race???
I will be at the Little 500 regardless...

From a mechanic's perspective, I've never been a huge fan of Anderson, in spite of our success there. I've always felt that it's just too small to really let a sprint car "stretch it's legs". Winchester, however is a different story. I'm super happy that we'll get to run there multiple times this year. If it costs me an Anderson show and an IRP show, then so be it.
