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

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...

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.

This not in any special order just my thoughts on top 5. I-80 , Tyler County, Cedar Lake, Fairbury, and Knoxville. The last being Knoxville , not some much side by side but the racing is always good there, the other 4 dont buy the whole seat cause you'll only need the edge. In their hey day you could put East Bay and Bulls Gap and Lernerville in there, not so much now though.

Fairbury 1 use to love Danville.. Still love FarmerCity and they trying hard to make it a better place. thing is 3 i loved a lot closed now..
Boswell be for they put 40 foot of dirt in the middle of it and killed it

It’s hard to beat the atmosphere at FALS. Top 5? Who knows...but there is no chance you’ll not have fun at that joint. The whole town revolves around that race track and it’s pretty darn cool.

Are we talking the 5 best dirt late model racetracks in the country? If so, Fairbury and Jacksonville are for sure in the top 5. However, I wouldn't rank Fairbury in the all around top 5. Not even close. Eldora and Knoxville are in the top 5 of all dirt tracks. Ventura Raceway out in Ventura, California is definitely all around top 5, for sure, and Perris Auto Speedway in Perris, California is also top 5 over all. Kokomo Speedway and Jacksonville Speedway are a toss-up for the 5th spot on the list of all around best.

I'm sure there are dirt track fans out east who would have a different top 5 and they would make a legitimate case.

[dch191]

FALS, East Bay, Marshalltown, Tri State, Macon

Fairbury and Tri State are the only two that I’ve been to in person but after watching numerous videos and PPVs over the years, the other 3 would be the first 3 tracks I’d like to knock off the bucket list if I had the chance.
