What is your favorite sprint track in US & Why?

Brian G. Wilson

What is your favorite sprint track? Where is it located and why do you like it? Let's keep this to tracks that you have been on, are permanent tracks and available for track days. After that, list a "bucket list" track if you have one and why it made the list.

My favorite track is Monticello, outside of Tallahassee, FL. http://www.monticellokarting.com/track.html The track is fast, smooth, flowing and fun....especially if running the outer perimeter only. Unfortunately it is out in the middle of nowhere and 4 1/2 hours from my house, but it's still worth the trip.

As of now, my bucket list track is the new facility at Atlanta....http://www.atlantamotorsportspark.com/the-courses/ It looks fast and fun, especially with the elevation changes.

USA International Raceway in Shawano, WI. Shame it's so far out of the way so it doesn't see much action anymore. A 1-mile strip of smooth, wide, asphalt rollercoaster. And it's great for racing too. Ever corner is a passing zone. The track has the coolest elevation changes. The back straight is basically a scaled down version of Eau Rouge at Spa.

I really like Monticello also. But my favorite that I've driven on is the kart track at Road America. It'd be better if it was repaved though.

US International in Shawano, WI.....

Read TJ's post...every corner every lap is a passing zone!
Exhilarating is an understatement...........wow!
Too far away but im glad i did it once!

GJ Motorsport Raceway in Grand Junction Colorado is also a great mid america track.... The Cooks did it right.
