What are your top 5 dirt tracks in the U.S. based purely on racing?

After watching last nights race at Fairbury it's hard not to imagine FALS it's a persons top 5 picks for best dirt tracks in the U.S. based on the racing action.

hard to give a top 5 unless you have been to all the tracks in the country.

You make a good point.

You are Sooooooo right HoosierDirtFan. But, I would have to throw i-80s hat in the ring for the top 5 as well. The Silver Dollar Nationals does provide some great racing. It seems like that is the best track I have ever seen for running the passing points format. You can race all over that track.(When it is right) You can come from back to the front in like ten laps.

there's several to choose from Macon fals Eldora Knoxville i80 any track sarge promotes as his shows are always efficient and top notch on track prep pevely I hear Florence is pretty good I never been.

So even though I am from Central Illinois, I say no to Fairbury as one of the top five tracks in the country. IMO the race at Jacksonville was just as exciting, so are the races at Macon and usually Belleclaire. What I'd say is Fairbury is one of the top five tracks in regards to promotion and putting forth the effort. They group that works at the track is one of the hardest working in many regards.

Always consider Eldora, Cedar Lake, Macon (sadly haven't been to FALS yet), and Knoxville, to be about the best. But i'll also add Grand Forks, ND and Deer Creek to that cool list.
Plus East Bay and Volusia, just because of the time & location.

Wythe is my #1.

Can't be 5 better tracks than Fairbury. I'd put FALS and Haubstadt on any Top 5 list without hesitation. For that matter, I'd choose FALS, Haubstadt, Eldora, Knoxville, and I-55 and feel pretty good about it. If someone wanted to sub in Macon, Cedar Lake, Duck River, Belle Clair, Greenville, Florence, Whynot, or Magnolia that'd be fine.

This is opinion based only lots of people don't like the 1/4-1/5 miles so they discard them even though they produce great racing. So many tracks after watch the Lucas race at Deer Creek last year I'd throw it in my top 5 right now

[t4g2]

I agree. I like the smaller tracks not a big fan of horse power and bigger tracks. And there's plenty of tracks I haven't been to. Fals 10 years ago was the total opposite of what it is today. Glad it's been changed. example is heat 3 of pdc last year was the norm 10 plus years ago.

This wasn't meant to be so much an opinion more as a conversation. I was trying to see if the consensus as to weather FALS is a top 5 track against other tracks that produce great racing. I don't care what the facility looks like if they produce great racing how do stack up against other great dirt tracks. Just my thoughts.

As to my top 5 tracks
If I made a list - in any order - tracks I've been to.
FALS - Tri-State - Boone - Kokomo - Eldora
There are many other tracks you could substitute to replace one on my list - Whynot, Macon, Belle-Clair, Knoxville, I-80, ect,

You guys should get on YouTube and check out tracks in other parts of the country and watch them as well. From New York to Texas to California there are a bunch of great tracks I just haven't been to them to develop a real opinion.

This will be a good conversation as long as we stay on topic of tracks that produce great racing.

Hope the insane amount of rain stops soon!!

Yes Hoosier my post was not in any way directed towards you or meant to be derogatory, the year Pierce flipped at the PDC when his nose folded under I think that could of went down as a barn burner between him and Richards, I'm saying when the track is right it's definitely top 5. Prob the most treacherous cushion I've seen in a long time. Mike Harrison said you have to drive it like a maniac but be cautious and tip toe at the same time lol sounds like a handful...

[Clayton_Wetter]

Fairbury is top five. Wish Brownstown would pattern this place. I wouldn't put B-town in the top 100 at this point.

I know. Where good. Just my thoughts.
I would for once like to have a decent conversation on here. Just wondered what others opinions are. There are a ton of good tracks. Just wonders where FALS stacks up against other good tracks.
