Without question it's Beech Bend in Bowling Green.

Isom, KY: Maybe the toughest racing I've ever experienced but was lucky enough to win an event there; paid in cash and the trophy is the tallest I've ever won...including season point championships!

Bret,
Has to be Utica Rome ! lol

Mine would be Rockingham. Been going there since the early 70's and it's Home.
I also like Bristol , Norwalk, and MIR

In D1 it's got to be Numidia , Great track and people and the best track food anywhere !
Shame we dont get to go there more often.

No Problem Raceway, followed by Beech Bend. Third would go to Gainesville ( mostly because i grew up going to the gators there and its kinda like hallowed ground to me)

South Georgia Motorsport Park ..All concrete track, well Groomed pits. Plus a round track on the grounds.

Beech Bend ! It was the best time I had racing my SS Camaro back in 1978. I also raced there in 1968-69 while I was still in the Army. Love the shaded spectator stands. Makes for a better time watching during the hot summer days. All tracks should do this. Racing was less complicated then to.

Norwalk, Bristol

...and there was always just a certain feel and sound at Maple Grove in the fall

The Strip at Las Vegas
Awesome pits and bathrooms all over the place. No portajohns.

Well I'll go with Numidia as my #1, great food, great people, great track and Bob and his family are some of the nicest you will meet. The man has put ALOT of work into the track and is only making it better! Only wish we could get a D-1 Divisional / Open up there again.

#2 - Atco - It's my home track and Joe has also put a lot of love into the track over the years.
#3 - MIR - Great Facility and Royce is one of the nicest guys around.

Least Favorites - Atlanta Dragway (If the track doesn't kill you then the piles of fire ants that are all over the ground will)
Cecil County - Track just needs someone to give it an "Extreme Makeover" soon!
