      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.

          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.

              Tri-State in Haubstadt, IN has never let me down check out a midget or non wing sprint car show. The Late Model Summer Nat race is good also.

                Most of you will laugh at me..... but I've never seen Scott Bloomquist race in person. Ive been a dirt race fan for over 30 years, but only have been a DLM fan for a few years now. Since the LOLMS doesn't race in my area too often, circumstances (rain outs, etc) have prevented me from knocking this off my bucket list. That being said, weather permitting, I plan on going next weekend to Hagerstown & Port Royal for the LOLMS races.

                  Nothing to laugh about. It is what it is.

                    Everybody should go at least once to the North/South.

                      cant forget about mighty macon, bel-clair speedway, and i know it is a hike but river cities in north dakota is an awesome place to watch a race, usually with the woo late models they run sprint cars as well.

                          I've been to tons of tracks, here are some of my favorites in no particular order. Not all are popular, just my favorites for various reasons.1. Tyler County Speedway-West Virginia2. Ohio Valley Speedway-West Virginia3. Atomic Speedway-Ohio4. Eldora Speedway-Ohio5. Volunteer Speedway-Tennessee6. Knoxville Raceway-Iowa7. 201 Speedway-Kentucky8. Florence Speedway-Kentucky9. Tri State Speedway-Indiana10. Fairbury (FALS)-IllinoisMy favorite would probably be Tyler County. The Hillbilly 100 is awesome, but I have never seen any bad show there.

                            I like the way you think.

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.
                                Absolutely, positively put Ventura
                                Raceway in Ventura California on your bucket list. Back in my school days I could have thrown a baseball into the Pacific Ocean from the top row of the turn #1 bleachers at Ventura. Coolest dirt track I've ever attended and the racing is second to none! I'd be willing to bet you would agree.

                                Perris Auto Speedway in Perris, California for the Oval Nationals in early November is must see destination race that shouldn't be missed by any serious race fan.

                                The Belleville High Banks in Belleville, Kansas is a track any avid dirt track racing fan should experience, as well. We've been to Belleville many times but we've never seen the DLM's at The High Banks and I've heard they are a spectacle of the highest order. Belleville makes Eldora look small and slow in comparison!

                                You'll want to attend an event at Kokomo Speedway in Kokomo, Indiana. It's on a par, or better than, any dirt track in America. GYATK!!!

                                And last but not least, the biggest and best of them all.........The Chili Bowl. It's now a 6 night, 350+ car extravaganza like nothing else in dirt racing, or racing period!! Drivers with household names from nearly every major racing genre is represented!
