The best track in the midwest

I would have to agree with Trucker D, Tri-State is the best I have seen. I would give an honorable mention to Brownstown the night USAC ran there it was really good racing.

Definitely Bloomington.

I would put Haubstadt right there if they still had the same dirt they had a few years ago.

Putnamville has been good a few times this year for a change

Eldora gets my vote. At least the last time I was there it was good and at a good price.

I agree 100%.

Along with worst track management and dirtiest bathrooms, the only other category that LPS could actually win.:rolling

There is nothing wrong with the work that they do at Tri-State speedway to keep the track in shop it only takes twenty minutes to start and finish the rework not bad at all.I know when I leave to drive the 350 mile roundtrip that I will not be dissappointed at all in the show.Last thing I live in central IL and the tracks around here now have multiple divisions racing and burnt slick tracks I like the tracks that you can race on and Tri-State is far ahead of most tracks on this one.

Tri State Speedway and Bloomington both have excellent track prep and racing from what I've seen. However I like the fact that Tommy works the track all night. So at Bloomington you sit through the street stocks and whatever other support series they have, at Haubstadt you get reworking the track. Doesn't really make a lot of difference because half the time I see a lot of people headed to the concessions, bathrooms or parking lots as soon as the support classes hit the track.
