My theory is that the smaller tracks like in Ohio provide the best races because they harness the speed of these locked down cars , plus they know how to set up the track right where some places don't . I know others will disagree with this
idea , and also if the cars were freed up more you would see even better racing . But a lot of people don't want to see this happen .

I prsonally think smaller tracks produce better. racing because the cars do not get spred out as much.

Bull rings are better for exciting racing. Less about the car setup and more about the driver working the wheel. As for this list of best tracks leaving Ocean Speedway off the list speaks volumes about the lack of a thorough selection process.
Cheers!

Too bad "raciest track" is in such a remote location... I try to make my racing trips coincide with other stuff. North Dakota is one state I'm not even sure I've been to... does I-90 run thru it? If so, I've been there
Haven't been to Hawaii, I'd remember that

Agreed. "Bad" races are few and far between at Ocean. Bad of course being a relative term. It's like having bad sex, there's really no such thing, sometimes it's just better then other times. Anyway, I'm stoked for The Key this weekend. Should be a good one.

Where does this list reside? If this only pertains to WoO racing, then there are only 2 tracks in ALL of Wisconsin that WoO races at (Beaver Dam Raceway and Cedar Lake). Which means Wisconsin is 2/2. However, there are MANY tracks in Wisconsin That are just as entertaining and "racy" as Beaver Dam. Would love to see WoO at a few other places in Wisconsin in the coming years... Including Angell Park
Real race cars don't have fenders...
