Which Tracks Get Your Vote for.... (1 Viewer)

..the most unusual, crazy, awe-inspiring, scenic, etc??
Post some pics if you have them.
Ive seen pics of tracks with breaking areas that veer left at 30degree angles, wildly uphill breaking areas, funny looking control towers, tracks with awesome scenery (Alaska's Dragway comes to mind)....some of the 1/8 mile tracks are amongst the craziest/coolest.
Post your stories and pics if you have them.

Daniel, I am biased. But, Pacific Raceways by Seattle is beautiful with the trees, mountains. Yes, it was home for years, so means more to me too.
When we'd race at Woodburn, OR quite often there would be hot air balloons taking off in the mornings. That was a cool backdrop too.

My favorite track is Vegas. It has decent scenery, you usually get to see an all day air show because Nellis Air Force is right next door, and facility itself is top notch from the reserved grandstand to the all paved pit area. Plus, I there's gambling available at a multitude of establishments nearby. What more could one ask for?

Norwalk Night under fire. Nitro funny cars and 100,000 dollars worth of fireworks

Bristol. I am sure Pacific is beautiful but haven't been there. Of the tracks I have been to, Bristol is the prettiest. Super nice people there too!!

Norwalk doesn't have any scenic vistas but the Halloween Havoc is a sight to been seen.

1lb of Ice cream for $1 for us ice cream-oholics thats a dream come true

And like someone said the Night of Fire is awesome. It was one of the few places that I have been (not just drag racing but any business) that I actually feel valued as a customer.

Bristol. Hearing the ehco when the fuel cars run is awesome.

I rest my case.

Gotta vote for Bandimere. Beautiful scenery, great layout (downhill staging lanes and uphill shutoff area, and some of the nicest people (both track employees and racers) you'd ever want to meet.

The Most scenic track I've been to is by Far Denver! It's just to bad they're at 5,800 ft and it's usually Hotter than Sheit in the Summer when they run there!

Of the tracks I have been to my vote would either go with Maple Grove because of its location in the middle of the country or Sonoma. Here's a picture I took at Sonoma from the top end.

Track with the most walking has to be Heartland Park Topeka..lol

"The Zoo" at Brainerd was even more interesting when the mud pit was still in operation.

All images from 1985. More....

Anybody have any information as to the real reason they filled it in??

 

[Horsepower & Heels]

My favorites are Bristol and Norwalk. Gotta love that ice cream!

 

[none]

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.

when ya' gotta' edit the scenery, it get's my vote.
thanks paul! (and dave too)

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

Damn, I think I may need to make a trip to Brainerd this year.
