Ideal size for a dirt track?

[EDERDS]

I personally love the quarter mile tracks and anything larger than 3/8 is pretty blah to me.

Depends on banking, type of dirt, that type of thing. Terre Haute and Eldora are both half mile tracks, but they are completely different.

[nc mudcat]

my favorites are generally 3/8, but my favorite dirt track, bar none, is the big half mile at Wytheville.

3/10s. Progressive banking. Keep the cushion cut off of it.

[Highside Hustler25]

Bullring fan myself. 1/4 mile generally. And you can mix in a occasional 1/5 miler like Macon. Out of all the races over the years, I've never been to a bad race at Macon.

My favorite is 1/3 with some banking or a quarter 1/4

[TerryM]

Nothing smaller than 1/4 or bigger than a 1/2. Otherwise, it’s all about surface, banking and track prep.

1/4. Cars maintain close contact. Safer at lower speeds.

I enjoy everything from Macon to Eldora. Having a variety of track sizes is a good thing. Of course, the larger tracks probably aren’t good for weekly racing.

[TBSprintFan]

1/4 to 3/8's. Anything bigger and the cars get too spread apart.

High banked 1/4 mile or slightly larger worked track like Tri state in Indiana.

[buster83]

4/10 favorite size.

[Slideways]

I think 3/8ths or 4/10ths seem to produce better racing.

[chathamracefan]

Typically 3/8 or smaller. Although Knoxville and Eldora produce great action and are bigger tracks.

For dirt late models the smaller the better. Makes for much more beatin', bangin' and wreckin' one another and that's half the show at a dirt late model event. The occasional dust up in the pits afterward is another benefit of the bullrings. The longer/faster tracks present a higher possibility of injury and guys are more reluctant to mix it up and get rough.
