    i wish i could hook there. its a far drive, but most ppl live up there, so its easier to go there.

    if i could cut 1.7 60's there like i do at firebird, id go.

    My best times have been at Firebird. It is an IRS track I guess.

    Speedworld doesn't always have the best track, and i've broke there twice, but my best time is there, and i've never had wheel hop there. i've had wheel hop so bad at firebird, i thought i broke my car one night. quite frankly, neither track preps very well, however, speedworld is very customer friendly, and allows you the privilege of enjoying your car, even without a roll-cage sometime. it all comes down to attitude, and firebirds sucks.

    Speedworld is my track of pref...although I've never raced at Firebird...haha

    I look at Speedworld as a Mom n Pop type place (which I like)....friendly and have let me slide on tech rules every outing.

    Depending on the prep that paticular night each track has good/bad days.

    i've only seen one crash at either place. the one at firebird was a 200mph dragster that went into the wall just past 330'

    the one at speedworld was a roush 427r that went into the wall at 110mph after the 1/4 because the track was too slick.

    to me, the tech rules are there for a reason, and letting people slide shouldnt become a habit.
