Default What is the best track in the U.S?

I have been to Englishtown NJ and Norwalk OH. I Love both tracks but I have only ran at about 6 tracks.
Also what Circit has the best payout and what Circit had the best fun factor.
In Canada we have 2 tracks that are OK and one circit that is kick ***. CSCS

LOL @ LACR

From my experience/West Coast comparison:

1. Pomona Raceway
2. Las Vegas Speedway
3. Famoso, Bakersfield, CA
4. Firebird Raceway, Arizona
5. LACR, Palmdale,CA

Ranked from what I thought had the best overall track.
Factors: Track surface, Pit Area, Grandstands, etc.

Palmdale is the ghetto. That's why I like it. Only the brave can go fast there. its dangerous....like " Maverick in Top Gun"

check the diff race circuits.. for payout info.
I believe some of the sites show the payout for each class.

I also say E-town... I haven't run on a lot of tracks but have been to quite a few (on the east coast) always ran best at E-town. I will concur tho, that Island, although nobody likes it has been good to me as well, ran my second best there

**side note**
Ara from Bullish/Street Glow told me that E-town was his fav. and he has been to, and run on a lot of tracks... still likes E-town the best

Bandimere is an extremely nice track the only drawback is the elevation, ask the pros like Tony1 to rate top 5 as far as quality

NDRA has the best payout and contingency program....bar none. E-Town is by far, the best hooking, fastest track have been to in 4 years of racing.

There's always records broken at MIR.

I'd have to say 75/80 though IMHO. &lt;---Trying to hold it in.
