Mine would have to be Orlando Speed World ( Central Florida Dragway). Many good times and memories! Jim

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

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.

For me it's not the track,it's the people at the track,my friends and family, if it wasn't for them I wouldn't race at all.

For me there no better feeling than racing on "Parker Avenue" Sunday afternoon .........Either in February or November .
