    Top 5 dirt tracks in U.S.? - After last nights race hard to imagine FALS not in top 5

    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 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.

                  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.

                        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

                            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.
