no he is right. from my understanding TEXAS has the fastest track(s) in the us . i know people that have traveled down there and ran 2-5 tenths faster then they do in lets say sacramento. then maplegrove is a really good one also. there have been alot of records broken on the east coast and parts. we need better tracks on the west coast especially in cali, we have pomona but only for the final NHRA race of the season.

san antonio is a decent track. We ran our best et and mph there, but that was because of some changes we made. At the finals in pomona, we were on the way to an 8.48 or so but the motor didn't agree with that. We went 8.66 at 140, the motor let go around the 1000ft mark. I would say pomona, maple grove, englishtown, and houston are some of the best tracks around. Route 66 is awesome as well, but damn nhra doesn't have any races there so I don't get to visit too often

Etown sems to have the best competition and the best suspense..We might not have records broken all the time (now that i think about it, we do tho), but a class record may be broken 3 times before eliminations. benchmarks are made hour to hour. From experience, id say Etown is the best track overall

I wonder how Sears Point(Infineon) is going to be this year with a broken in track. Last year seemed to ok with a fresh track. Just have to wait and see.

Route 66 seems to be pretty fast also.
I saw the Venom Truck make its 6sec pass there.
And team NueImage's All Motor Type R make its record pass there also.
