I'm partial to Budds Creek / MIR myself, it's close to home.

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.

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" .............

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....
