Las Vegas is a great facility. I like Mission since it's local and familiar.

These days I like Norwalk for facility and proximity. I also liked Las Vegas since we have been there more than any other track excpt Norwalk.

I used to like Dragway 42 in Ohio, once upon a time in the 60s it hosted NHRA Nationals, and I remember Shirley Muldowney running off the end of very short shutdown, going across the entry road, and into the corn field where the drying stalks of corn finally slowed her to a stop. They also took off most of the paint on her car too..lol The shut off is short, uphill and poorly lit. So at night it was driving into a black hole.. But that was my home track then and my little green Ford Falcon, the Tin Lizzard in C/MP liked it.

Yes, those were the days!

Best real world:
Earlville and No Problem - a tossup but NPR has New Orleans close by for before/after the races

Best National Event:
Las Vegas or Charlotte but Las Vegas has the air show
Indy's a dump but it IS Indy

Best Time Warp
Bowling Green

I miss the most:
Ste Genevieve
Pevely
Pacific
US 30
