Default Favorite Track?

What's everyones favorite track to ride on? I saw a similar thread on another forum and was surprised that some top tier tracks did not get mentioned!

I've been to 3 tracks but only have ridden on Mid Ohio. I love that track though, so I'm sure even though I'll probably do a couple of different tracks this year, MO is going to be at the top!

First choice is always Road America with Blackhawk Farms as a runner up.

Mid Ohio is the only track I have ridden so far, but it was a blast. It has elevation changes, keyholes, and just about everything else. I would like to ride VIR, I hear it is also a great track.

I think my favorite track will soon be the one they are building just up the road from me and cozye ..http://www.drivebluegrass.com/

Default RE: Favorite Track?

the ones I've ridden in order of preference:

1. Barber; home sweet home
2. Road Atlanta; fun as hell even on an SV650
3. Jennings; Hell of a lotta fun but I've had a lot of bad luck there
4. Miller West; did the Freddie Spencer school there, that part of the track is kinda plain but still fun
5. Roebling Road; liked it but didn't have a good weekend there
6. Talladega; it only has ONE right turn and some really funky corners, just not my type of track
7. CMP; hated the track at first, surface is crap but the layout is fun. Its almost like two completely different tracks joined together
8. Nashville; facility was the best I've been to but the track was very strange, transitions on/off the banking were really f'ed up, then a friend of mine got hurt pretty good there

Only ridden on MAM and BIR.

MAM is my prefernce of those two as it is WAY more technical, but BIR has the fastest corner in the west so that has a small amount of appeal to it. I'm anxious to try their new layout elimnating the drag strip section.

I've heard great things about Barber and would some day like to try it.

I've only been to Jennings so far, but I was very happy with it and will return for sure.

Definitely Road America. Fast, long and wide. Plus a great track to ride after watching AMA races there for over 25 years.
