AS we head into 2018 - What are your top 10 tracks in the country for good racing?

[HoosierDirtFan]

As we head into the 2018 season I got to thinking.
If Prepped right - What are your top 10 tracks for good racing no matter if the track is dry slick or tacky usually racy from top to bottom??

It could be a popular track or one that flies under the radar but produces good racing. Maybe one that many don't know about or one that's in the public spot light.

WHERE HAVE YOU SEEN SOME DARN GOOD RACES OVER THE YEARS?

Different race cars produce better racing at some tracks. I have been to tracks that others say is great and the type of race cars don't offer a great show. So I kind of breakdown the list according to cars=tracks. These are the tops that I have personally visited.

Late Models-Fairbury, Oakshade and Florence.

Winged Sprint Cars-Knoxville, Atomic and Millstream.

Traditional Sprint Cars-Kokomo and Tri State.

Midgets-Belle Clair, Macon, Southern Illinois Center and Montpelier.

Silver Crown-DuQuoin Magic Mile and Terre Haute.

Sorry but 10 is next to impossible to do.

Knoxville is always fun. I really like the new configuration they have at Farley, IA.

[Bubstr]

Fairbury is my number one track Good side by side racing and if your fast and good, the track won't hold you back.
Knoxville Ia is a close second best, if you like bigger tracks.
Donnelson Ia. always seem to have a track that makes runs from the rear common place.
34 Raceway usually puts on a great show with lots of passing.
Spoon River Il. see some exciting races there if the talent is.
I80 with the passing points format, it don't get much better than that.
Florence really made a turn around since they went to passing points. Makes me want to go back.
Macon is small but holly cow, do they run side by side a lot. Truly a drivers track.
Granite City usually has a well prepped track and good shows.
Eldora, not because it's a great track, but every driver and his brother show up for the world. Someone is hungry.

Honorable mention goes to Lucas Oil speedway, West Liberty Ia, Cedar Lake, Eldon Ia if they have SLM, I55 and BellClair and LaSalle.

I would take no issue with your list. I live less than an hour from FALS and have attended more events there than any other track and consider myself extremely fortunate to be a dirt racing fan living so close to one of the premier dirt tracks in the Midwest. However, you should give Kokomo a try. It will hold it's own favorably in any comparison with Fairbury.

Knocked the Dream and the Prairie Dirt Classic off the bucket list goin to World this year in 2019 shooting for the North South

Knocked the Dream and the Prairie Dirt Classic off the bucket list goin to World this year in 2019 shooting for the North SouthLove Florence! Love the format, and please get the loaded nachos on front stretch and the bbq on the backstretch! Camping can be a challenge with all the hills. Race is jam packed with fans.

It seems that Fairbury is on a lot of people's list judging by these posts.
