Haubstadt. ONly been to one show but I guess the non stop slide jobs do it for me.
Burg, Best prepped most grooves on any indiana racetrack. Best facilities bar none. Very little dust compared to that speed plant up north. Putnamville. Its a shame I got sick of the BS but the track is as hillbilly as possible and still one of the funnest to watch a race on with some of the best racing. Twin Cities. Don't ask me why. Kamp, Mostly mortified but if they'd prep it better...... Bloomington, If seen some of the best racing there and some of the worst run away wins. I consider the track to be just too damn narrow. Kokomo. The reason its so far down is they basically mug you at the entrance. No Cooler, no water bottle. Usually two grooves and good racing but im not driving 220 miles each way for that kind of treatment. Meanwhile every team in the pits has a cooler............ Go figure. Of all the tracks I have the least desire to go here Gas City, I hate the stands, I hate the cooler policy, I hate the reserved seating policy. Its just strange to watch a race here. But still good racing Great concession, Mushrooms, and tenderloin sammich. Eldora, Bring a gas mask and goggles, There still isn't a dirt track that can pump up the excitement level like a big show here. That or its 20,000 plus at a dirt track.

1 Kokomo More great or amazing races and close finishes I seen anywhere this year
2 Gas City Just a great close place to see racing every week 3 Bloomington Would be #2 but the 2 1/2 hours compared to the 1/2 hour drive hurts a bit 4 Eldora Only race I was disappointed with last year was the prelude 5 Lawrenceburg Always good racing can't say I've seen a bad show |

1. PAS - the best track in the west period.
2. Calistoga - last year's return of traditional sprint cars and midgets was amazing. One scary place. 3. Tulare - very nice track at the county fairgrounds also known as the Thunderbowl. great racing. 4. Ventura - small bullring on the pacific. 5. Victorville - fairgrounds track that is slowly getting some recognition. 6. Roseville - (its asphalt) the USAC Western sprints put on a good show in last year's opener. This year journeys to Petaluma (never been) and maybe Chowchilla which is reopening this season with a very good promoter and an agressive open wheel schedule. Would like to make it to Ocean (Watsonville) where the 360 wingers run but the reason would be to see the spec sprints with some hard charging youngsters. |
