What's your favorite track and why?

[Skid_Jackson]

Loudon!!

Because it's the only track i've run at and it's only 20 minutes from my house!!  ;)

must say
1. Oak Hill you need to think the whole way around good elevation changes

2. or maybe 1. Motor Sport ranch same reasons as Oak Hill but with a great surface and wide.

3. no problems good track great surface on flat land

4. tws

I have not ridden on Hallet.

I have raced cars on Roebling Road,  and Road A.  but never bikes.

ps 2-14-03 have done Hallet twice now in the cw dirction is now #3 ccW #4  that still leaves Oak Hill and Motorsport ranch tied for #1 that is motor sport ranch ccw, cw is down there with Hallet (there is a joint that you cross just as the track goes off camber )

Roebling, cause its the only place I have been.

[LonnieM]

1. VIR, best facilities, best traction, smooth surface, and technical!

2. Roebling, very fast, love fast tracks, only drawback is the surface, they have to come off some money and re-pave that place, too many patches!
It would be an awesome track on just a re-pave!

This probably obvious by now but, NFMP is my favorite track now. :)

ROAD AMERICA,
  Best track in america, hence the name

[TreyBone]

1. VIR - because it is technical, great surface, great layout, and what an awesome facility, only 2 hours from home

2. CMP - Good layout, Great surface, Fun to run on, only 2 hours from home.

3. Roebling Road - FAST, needs repaving very badly. only 3.5 hours from home

4. Road Atlanta  - ? I havn't raced there since they changed gravity cavity.

5. Daytona - FAST,  but kinda boring. Flying down the backstraight looking at seagulls and $hit ;D

My ranking:

1 - Road America: Mostly because of one turn- the carousel. To me, the carousel makes all other turns feel boring.

2 - Daytona: Just the feeling of being there is awesome, regardless of how many times my bike has broken there or that I fractured my elbow by crashing going up the banking.

3 - Gingerman: tricky and fun. Flows kind of odd, but it definetly separates the good from the bad.

4 - Brainerd: It's a love hate thing. Going wide open in 6th through turn one is just way too nuts not to include.

Upper Mid-West is the best:

1. Road America - fast and begs you to go faster, especially turn 5 and at the kink.

2. Daytona - just for history.  The track really is not that challenging.  HP and weight are everything.

3. Grattan Raceway (Michigan) - challenging (off-chamber turns, bowl, esses, "jump", elevation changes)

4. Mid-America Motorplex - challenging (double apexes, esses, positive chamber everywhere), but the surface needed repair at the entrance to several corners. It's also flat, which makes it easy to see the entire course from a spectators pov.

5. Gingerman Raceway - want to learn how to take a double apex turns with some off-chamber elevation changes, this is the place.  lots of fun

6. Blackhawk Farms - lots of shifting and turning, surface was awful.  Hopefully this year, with the new surface, it will give my top choices a run.

Do they have to be tracks where CCS races?

Here are the ones I've been on:

#1 is Arroyo Seco in NM.  Great track (no walls, tons o' run-out room, really safe), great people, great organization.  Run by riders for riders.  Race season with them is a blast.

#2 Firebird East in PHX.  Closer to home so friends & family can watch the racing.

#3 Sandia Motorsports Park in NM.  A bit small, not too twisty, more fun for the bigger bikes.  But they run races in the summer.  Nice folks that run that organization.

#4 Phoenix Int. Raceway main track.  Only rode there once on my first newbie track day.  Would like to go back one day now that I'm more experienced.

Hope to get experience on more tracks as I progress in racing.

Road America. Awsome facility and awsome track!

Gateway. Yes Gateway. Just don't look at the concrete. Fun track. Your almost allways turning.
