Asphalt vs. Dirt

I know there are A LOT of fans that are divided about which racing surface, asphalt or dirt, is better than the other. Personally, I love both. I don't give a damn if it's an asphalt track or dirt track. I have seen good races as well as lousy races on both surfaces. There are some fine asphalt short tracks around the country. South Boston, Indianapolis Raceway Park, Irwindale, Salem, and Winchester are a few that come to mind. These race tracks have put on awesome shows. Thanks to the miracle of television I have had the chance to see races at all of these tracks. IRP is one of the nicest tracks, dirt or asphalt, that I have EVER been to. It is efficiently ran, and very fan friendly. I am actually considering going there for the USAC Silver Crown JD Byrider 100 and USAC National Midget Car show there the Thursday of the Brickyard 400. Have seen the Champ Cars in person, but not the midgets. For those who think that one surface is better than another, WAKE UP!! Don't limit yourself to just one type of racing or surface. Give it a chance and you just might be pleasantly surprised. A true race fan loves racing, regardless of surface.
