Default Drags @ Las Vegas

I would like to say the staff @ the track are A#1, they are so together as a team. Now how many tracks do you guy's go to were you have too raise the air pressure up on your slicks, that track had BITE. So what do you racer's think. John@M&H

I must say Las Vegas has a very nice track. Ive heard the same about Route 66. Houston has a pretty good track when its not humid. But the Mecca of Import racing is at Englishtown! You havent been to a real event till you've been to Etown.

The track was definitely prepped good at vegas, we ran 1.34 and 1.35 60fts there! Englishtown is the best only because of the fans, there's more fans there then anywhere else! The track is ok, but not the best. I'd say pomona is my favorite track, chicago (rt66) is a close second.

Very disappointed on the track officials.last qualifying round on Hot Rod, as i was cruising in at 140mph, a giant piece of debris was left on the track. JJ Olson's pilot chute was left out along with oil.it sucked because I had to swerve out of the way.should have qualified much better. Track Clean-up Summit Guys

do u guys remember the old las vegas raceway?
i think the new one is one of best motorsport facilities around.
i would have to agree with some of you guys about etown. they have a real good fan base.
but i would have to say that pomona is my favorite track. that was the first track i've ever raced on. the best is when they have the NHRA guys over there. talk about being packed

I know that I had a good time as a fan there, I haven't been to many other tracks though. It seemed like people were hooking up decent and it was a kick *** time. I thought that there would be a lot more people there though.
