The ones I haven't seen yet but would like to are: Kings Royal, 4 Crown, Indiana Speedweek, Chili Bowl, Trophy Cup....timing, travel & $$ issues are the only things stopping me. I guess that would be enough, to stop me....

If you haven't seen a USAC sprint car race at Kokomo, you haven't seen a race.

1: The entire Southern Iowa Speedweeks all in the same year (360 Nationals, Capitani Classic, Front Row Challenge (or whatever it's going to be now,) Ultimate Challenge, and The Knoxville Nationals.) 2: Indiana Speedweeks. 3: Can I lump a Pennsylvania tour into one? (Grove, Port, Lincoln, Lernerville, Selinsgrove, etc.) 4: Now a West Coast tour (Washington, Oregon, California, and Arizona. 5: Short Track Nationals. Ascot and Manzanita used to be 1 and 2 on my list. As for pavement, eh, I guess I would like to go to the Indy 500 and Daytona 500 just to have went. I'd rather watch pavement on tv so I can nap.

I am very fortunate to have been to so many races around the country. Dirt sprints are my favorite, but the Nascar tracks have been fun, too. I especially enjoyed reading the wish lists of some of you who I know. For me, I need to go to Eldora for a big race. I also would like to go to the Chili Bowl. Sure would like to see some of you "Race fans" at Bonneville or Baja. Diffrent, but very entertaining. Knoxville, Lincoln, 2larry, Williams Grove, Daytona to Darlington. All are good experiences. I say pick a new one for you and plan, save, and GO !!

4 crown, Kings Royal, The Nationals and the STN are on my dirt track list to see in the States when I get over your way.
Put a trip down here (Australia) for the Grand Annual Sprintcar Classic in Warnambool, ask any of your fellow countrymen and its a must see. 100 cars 2 nights, still buzzing from Sundays race.

The Little 500 was on my list as of a couple years ago. Finally made it to that. Will never miss it again. I know its pavement, but I have taken dirt track fans to it and they have left stunned. 11 rows of 3 sprint cars a piece on a quarter mile track. Throw in the 500 laps and the LIVE pit stops. It gets pretty entertaining. Something about that 26,000+ HP ringing through your ears that never gets old
Real race cars don't have fenders...

Monaco Grand Prix
Parramatta (I want to get to Australia sometime, if I do I sure am going to make sure I see at least 1 race there)
I've been lucky enough to see plenty of other big events stateside but if I make it out east I'd like to hit Lernerville and Williams Grove just to say I've been there...
Out of all I have experienced first hand, I'd rank them in this order...
Knoxville Nationals (still haven't found one that has the same "aura" for me)
King's Royal (for the record, I haven't attended since 1987, but it was a great time)
Fram Dash @ Memphis
Daytona 500 (I attended the 50th annual when Ryan Newman won) -- much, MUCH better on TV than in person IMO
