Getting My Bucket List Together

[racincowboy02]

Ok so my family has been in some discussions lately about races we would like to attend over the next 10-15 years and we are trying to put together a bucket list of race tracks that we haven't been to. We have been to Eldora and we always go to Cherokee and we use to go to Thunder Valley in Lawndale NC before they shut it down and weve been to the dirt track at Charlotte a handful of times for different shows up there.

The East Bay/Volusia swing.

Knoxville, the mag, smokey mountain

I would recommend Lucas Oil Speedway for the Show Me 100. Also if you don't mind other forms of dirt racing the Knoxville Nationals(410) and Indiana Sprint Week are both great.

[TheJet-09]

Sounds like you've enjoyed what the South has to offer, and even as far north as Eldora, so a trip to FALS (Fairbury) seems like the obvious vote for me. Brownstown (Indiana) is another historic track that should be on everyone's list.

Here are some other good choices not listed above:

USA Nationals @ Cedar Lake Speedway
Silver Dollar Nationals @ I-80 Speedway
Ironman 55 @ Pevely Raceway
Herald & Review at Macon Speedway
Supernationals @ Boone Speedway
Lucas Oil Late Model @ Granite City, IL

Those are some pretty good ideas for the bucket list for sure. I have always wanted to go to Cedar Lake, FALS, Brownstown, Knoxville for both the sprints and the lates, the mag is definitely goin on the list smokey mountain is not that far from us and i have been pondering riding up there for a weekend and catch a race and then go to the wilderness at the smokies to make it a full weekend.

The whole speedweeks deal in feb is what we have been thinkin about doing renting an RV and just taking off and goin down and traveling to the different tracks once we retire in 30 yeras lol but in the short term we have been discussing take a weekend to eastbay then the next year goin to volusia and then going to bubbas and screven

what other races sprints or late models would you recommend cause i love both late models and sprints especially the woo sprints but im open to any form of dirt racing to be honest

[RiffRaf67]

Since you are a sprint car fan, Knoxville is a must. Also, either PA or OH Sprint Speedweeks would be another week long excursion that will not disappoint

[Pennsboro23]

Gotta go to Fairbury at least once. Went last year for the first time, I loved it. Tyler County for the die hards, good side by side racing.

My bucket list would include

Knoxville (Both late models and sprints).
Lernerville (It's not that far away from me but I've yet to go, maybe that'll change this year).
Eastbay
Volusia
The Mag

Most definitely hit Florence for the North/South!! It's a great weekend of racing with passing points and you get your money's worth in racing.

If you are in to sprint cars the best place (even according to Johnny Gibson and also voted best track for sprints) is River Cities Speedway in Grand Forks, ND. High banked 1/4 mile. We have been going to the Knoxville Nationals (410 sprints) every year since 2004 and I still am more excited to see the races in Grand Forks more than Knoxville. The speed is unbelievable and it is hard to keep up with the running order at Grand Forks when there is 24 WoO Sprints on the track.

[Minny Lakes]

The WoO Late Models are pretty awesome at Grand Forks too. There is so much going on in the A mains, especially with lap traffic.

I80's Silver Dollar Nationals is awesome.
Cedar Lake is fun.
Brown County Speedway in Aberdeen was a good show for the Lucas Lates last year.

[racincowboy02]

Cool that sounds like an awesome time never been to North Dakota that would be an awesome trip
