What is your favorite dragstrip?

[Ron Middleton]

No Problem Raceway. Great facility, great staff and great food. Doesn't get any better.

[Mike Carr]

My two favorites:
1) Quaker City in Salem OH (home track)
2) Mason-Dixon in Hagerstown MD (beein doing S/SS races there since 1996)
Honorable mention: Keystone Raceway/Pittsburgh Raceway Park

Ones I'm not to crazy about: MIR and Atco (all paved parking makes it brutal when it's hot, no shade)...no motels really close to the track at either place (1/2 hour drive or more, and all the ones at MIR are close to, or over, $100 per night. Beaver Springs doesn't have any close motels either).

I've had fun and enjoyed every track I've ever been to, though. Everything from an old outlaw 1/8 mile track that used to be an airport (Steubenville OH) to Indy and a lot in between.

When you're at the Beaver, you CAMP! Beaver Springs is old school, and I love it for the clean yet no frills nostalgic feel, and that's exactly what they hang their hat on. Gasser Magazine's Gasser Reunion (pics: http://www.beaversprings.com/results...%20Reunion.htm), York US 30 Reunion Nostalgia Nationals (pics: http://www.beaversprings.com/results...gia%20Nats.htm), Flashback Friday (more Nostalgia Super Stocker, Junior Stock racing, coming up Aug 12), Jalopy Showdown Drags... great lineup.

Billy, unfortunately all we can do is fondly remember what Island was back when we young.
It sure isn't what we raced at anymore.

[Rich Biebel]

Although Island is the track I have been to the most and is close to home it was never my favorite track.

I would have a hard time deciding between Maple Grove and E-Town

Won races at E-Town.....makes it a special place. Was there when it was far different than today in the mid 60's....Raced there a lot....

Maple Grove is just a really nice place to be at racing...and the ride there is not bad.......Whenever I go there I'm happy....When I come down the hill and see the track I'm smiling.....


I have to add I saw some great racing at Island and some of the biggest names in the sport there....and it is a shame how it has slid downhill....I have to twist my own arm just to go there anymore....

Billy - After all the ugly beatings you got there I'd think it was your least favorite ........But I guess you'll always have a place in your heart for the "patch" .............

Billy - I see that ...........you certainly are a character with attitude .............

[Dick Butler]

Tri State in Ohio as a starter track. Bowling Green for character and Joliet/ or Gators for Beautiful track facility.. (never ran Norwalk)
Cant leave out INDY, the Home of all Drag racing History and emotion.
