I have been to 21 of dsc's 25 and most of them I agree with.  River Cities HAS to be on the list and Chico from when I remember it was great but things have changed they tell me.  Bloomington IN also HAS to be on that list, you know how fast it is when the track record is under 9.5 seconds, these are a couple not on his list.  If you would have asked Sammy and a few Outlaw regulars you would have got some good answers, Eckert and John Gibson also, heck I have seen sprint cars race in 29 different States....

Id like to see 34 raceway on the list but I am assuming it won't be on the list due to not historically running many 410 events there. It is definately starting to hold more 410 events and is always a racey 3/8 where each corner is just slightly different from the next.

I like Plymouth and do think it's a 'racey' track, but I've seen some excellent, dramatic races there. Every year the WoO A-main is lightning fast with lots of passing. And I've witnessed multiple IRA races that came down to scoring to determine the winner. 

 

I'd like to see what the list would look like if it was strictly compiled from the driver's voting.

Historically speaking, I'd like to see some input from drivers on tracks that have closed in the past 20-30 years. I realize you can't go back much further than this as the drivers from those days ae now gone. But to interview some retired drivers on closed tracks might be a good read.

Examples: Manzanita, Hollywood Hills, Reading, Silver Springs, Jungle Park, Santa Fe, Baylands, etc.

I have to add my vote for Ocean Speedway in Watsonville, CA. Being way out here on the west coast, I understand that it's obscure to most, but none the less, this place has been one of the raciest tracks I've ever been to. And on a consistent basis, I might add. They are producing a good surface every week. They missed it on only one occasion, it was the second night of the Howard Kaeding Classic, but they graded and repacked it before the feature and still managed to produce a good surface. It may not meet the criteria as it hasn't hosted an Outlaw, or any national touring series since 2010 but they do have 2 KWS 410 shows each season, as well as weekly 360's. Either way, credit should be given to the track prep crew. Keep up the good work.

River Cities Speedway.  Great 410 action every Friday night, even better when the outlaws make their two stops each year!  I haven't been to a dirt track I didn't like, but they don't come much racier than @bestdirttrack.  As far as late models, Pat Doar said racing there is like throwing a handful of bb's into a bowl.  Tim McCreadie, who recently won the WoOLMS stop there, was quoted in the local paper as saying, "It's balls to the walls every lap!"


Sprint car racing is life.  The rest is just details...

Path Valley. Always has been my favorite since weekly 410s there in the 1990's.

Eldora. If you were ever there , you'd understand.

Bristol .  I'd be there in a heartbeat if they did it again.

Susquehanna. It's going to start making it's return to the top very soon.

Attica. Racy .

Port Royal. The comeback is almost complete.

Just as the drivers list - people will call for Jeremy's head one way or another. But kudos for doing this, looking forward to it. 

 

I'm interested to see how many tracks I've been to on the list. Of the ones I've been to...

 

Lincoln (PA)

Knoxville 

Limaland 

Waynesfield 

Attica 

...are 5 that quickly come to mind. 



As long as he doesn't do something ridiculous like list Jac Haudenshield ahead of Danny Lasoski then there shouldn't be too many people calling for his head.

 

I'm mean seriously... their resume's weren't even close to start, and a year later it looks even more ridiculous.  Barring bad luck on his qualifying night I'm picking Lasoski to win Nationals.

For those who have not experienced River Cities Speedway, here's a quick video of a WoO heat showcasing a small taste of what this track offers:
