Races you must attend???

[Markymark]

Newbie here trying to find out the best races to attend. Big fan of the pro mod, pro street, top sportsman categories. Definitely will be hitting up the pro street nationals that were just n Las Vegas, but what other big deals you guys recommend??? I'm assuming any race that bangshift is covering live is a winner.... Any other suggestions???

No Mercy and Lights Out at South Georgia Motorsports Park are a couple of the best radial races there are. The track is great and there are a lot of cars.

Holly Springs, MS now has two radial races a year as well. HS has been called a unicorn ranch because of the times they turn there- the track is awesome.

Those are the ones I try to make- some of the best small tire full body car races around.

The NMCA/NMRA Super Bowl of Street Legal Drag Racing at Rt. 66 in Joliet, Illinois. 500+ racecars and lots of side by side action.

YellowBullet Nats - Cecil County Dragway in Maryland
Shakedown at the Summit - Norwalk, Ohio
Any ADRL event.

For me it's Land Speed. I'm at every ECTA meet (Wilmington, OH) and I volunteer at Bonneville for Speed Week. I don't like drama and LSR is pretty devoid of it.

Anything I can enter because I have a car to race in the event. Want to do some LSR like Wilmington, would love to do Drag Week, and an open road race like the Sandhills Challenge would be awesome. The holy grail for me is Speed Week, but it probably wont ever include me as a participant.

I dont go to watch, if I am not racing I am not going.

Me too Jeff.I also like attending The Knoxville Sprint Car Nationals.

One of the best races on the east coast is the Import Vs Domestic Race at MIR. IT is a blast as a racer or spectator there.

[Markymark]

So what you all are telling me is I need to get off the west coast???????

Good information, I appreciate it. Speedweek is definitely on the list this year. When do they announce when and where it is?

[Bob Holmes]

I assume by Speedweek (Remember that Daytona has a Speedweek) is on the Bonneville Salt Flats just barely outside of Wendover Nevada. Its just inside the Utah border. In 2013 its from August 10th-16th.

Here is where you kind find everything you could want to know:

Marky - If you want to attend Speed Week book rooms NOW! They're pricey and unavailable later in the year (like say, February).

OOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHH my mistake, I meant the Hotrod week. Speedweek sounds like an awesome idea as well. That is actually in driving distance. . . .

The Strip at LVMS, vegas, hosts all kinds of racing from PSCA to Mopar Nats to a traditional rod show and race. Check out their event schedule.
