Bristol and Seattle have to be the two most scenic tracks I`ve been to. Pomona ain`t bad either, with the snow capped San Gabriel Mountains off in the distance.

I've only been to Sears Point, but I gotta say that Bristol looks extremely nice on the TV...

Re: Which Tracks Get Your Vote for....

I've only been to four dragstrips. Beeline, Firebird, Speedworld and the one in Hilo, Hawaii. The one in Hilo was cool, very basic. No scoreboards, just a win light. Weather is always perfect too. Having to drive through the dump to get there is interesting too.

Re: Which Tracks Get Your Vote for....

My fav track is Beech Bend in Bowling Green, KY. Its completely surrounded by cornfields. Its beautiful and its an old track to boot which makes me like it even more. Of the national event tracks, Bristol is tops probably. I've never been to Norwalk but hope to change that. I dont know scenery wise but I hear raves about Valdosta, GA's South Georgia Motorsports Park.
Though I will tell yall all the worse one, Angleton Texas.

Post some pics if you have them.
Ive seen pics of tracks with breaking areas that veer left at 30degree angles, wildly uphill breaking
BREAKING AREAS ?? They have a specific area to BREAK your car ???

Gotta go with Bandimere. Although the Zoo sure looks tempting.

George Ray's Wildcat Dragstrip

We ran a 65 Blown, Nitro S/FX Altered Wheelbase Dodge down a 20' wide chunk of concrete in the middle of nowhere and that wasn't the craziest thing there!

Re: Which Tracks Get Your Vote for....

for me....it's Indy without a doubt. The history, the cornfields, the place just speaks to me. Yes it needs work, but I look at it as sacred ground.

Saw the same show--Joe Elmore on Horsepower TV on Spike--He grew up near there and did a segment on a show about the past and present of the place--no bracket racing, just several different classes and all races are heads up. Pretty interesting
