    I love Eldora, been going for 20+ years and going again this year, but for the last 5 years I've taken in a week of the Hell Tour. I don't think there's a better place to see good racing than Macon. Went to FALS for the first time last year. It was good racing, but for my money, Macon can't be beat. Lead cars are in traffic by lap 5, and its Katy bar the door for 100 Laps

        Macon Lucas show or Hell tour race. Take your pick. And FALS never disappoints. Like Reddyfreddy said, the leader is lapping the last place car within a few laps @ Macon.

          The King?

          I also love Macon....home base for me as a kid. Cedar Lake (USA Nats) is great nearly every year, Knoxville is a unique animal and that makes it really special. It's a place where the best car and driver, if they finish, rarely loses. No fluke victories at Knoxville.

          But hey, it's The World. Been going for many years. For me, it's still not close. Atmosphere, venue, prestige, competition. JMO here -- I also think it's still a great value, especially with the additions to the program over the past few years.

          Go 18!!

            From what ive seen on ppv, Macon and Fals would be hard to beat!

              The Hillbilly 100, because every dirt fan needs to experience Tyler County at least once.

                Fairbury is like Tyler County, except it’s racier and there’s no dust.

                  Silver dollar nationals, late model show with USMTS is hard to beat, very well run show and excellent track prep!

                    Atomic or was KC had some really really good racing on that 3/8 track i agree 100% with Cirf the smaller tracks provide the best racing the 1/2 mile provide good racing but they are a lot more spread out it seperates the best car&driver from the intermediate car&driver and usually 7 or 8 cars not lapped.

Macon, Fairbury, La Salle allow for much more of what most dirt late model fans want to see and that is rootin', gougin', beatin' and bangin'. For those reasons the Lucas Oil 100 lap race and the Herald & Review 100 at Mighty Macon would be at the top of the list.

                              Fals, North/south, Show Me, Cedar Lake, are all great weekend shows. But if you have never been to Eldora yet its still hands down the best.

                                You’re on the sh!tlist too, awesome.
                                Up in the air who my next “favorite” driver is. Really losing hope on Bloomer getting anywhere back to “normal”.
