Hello everyone, new to this. Obviously bored with the winter weather. Grew up at Kokomo Speedway, but I've been very fortunate and thankful to get to some new tracks with a special group of people over the past few years. Just curious on everyone's favorite tracks. If it's not too much to ask, please dont bash tracks, no need in it. Just your favorites. Kokomo, GC, Eldora, TheBurg, TH, Port City, LP, some of my favorites.

Welcome to the board. Tri State Speedway #1. They don’t call it the class track for nothing!

For my money Lincoln park speedway is hard to beat. Good racing most nights, good car counts, and the best part is the stands. I love sitting in my lawn chair instead of bleachers. Also the suns at our backs. Why anyone builds a track where I have to face the sun for 3 hours I’ll never know!

It's funny you say that, although very true. Kokomo is home and my favorite but yes front stretch right in the sun and it's not the O'connor's fault, they are amazing people. Also I played football all through school and our school was one of only 2 in our part of the state that had to look into the sun, not smart lol. Great point though!! I've only been to LP once, but loved it!!

I-55 Raceway in Pevely, MO
Perris Speedway Santa Fe Speedway Hinsdale, Ill (no longer there) Huset's Speedway Red Dirt Raceway Favorite Indiana track, Lincoln Park I'm in the minority on here. This year should get me to my 350th different race track and I can honestly say Haubstadt is near the bottom of my list.

Springfield for Silver Crown
Perris Auto Speedway for sprint cars Mighty Macon for midgets

I’m fortunate in that I’ve been able to witness sprint cars race on some legendary tracks. Of the tracks that are lost to history, Ascot is undoubtedly my favorite, but Manzanita isn’t far behind. My two favorite existing tracks for sprint cars are Tri-State Speedway and WHEN IT IS RIGHT, Terre Haute. Pevely/I-55 is a close third.
