I`m guessing its been a while since you raced at Seattle. Although the pits that were under the trees WAS great, the trees were cut down several years ago and taken from pit space to overflow tractor trailer parking. I suppose every National event track has good and bad pit spots, sometimes you just gotta work with what you are given.

I agree with Frank, Englishtown all the way. I especially loved the little beach. How cool is a track with a little beach? E-town Rules

Plus parking on concrete for around 500 cars.

The choice of grass or pavement and showers.

Every track hosting a divisional or national should have showers on the property.

I've spent many long weekends sleeping in the trailer at Chicago in July or Gateway in August, among others. Not a fun ride home!

Trailer shower! Get one of those portable camping shower set ups and lay some plastic down at the back of the trailer, away with the stink!

Or the next alternative is the wash cloth and bucket method inside and wash the hair outside

I think Maple Grove in D1 has a Nice Facility when it doesn't get flooded.
Choice of Pavement or Grass and the place is Always Groomed Nicely.

Englishtown was def nice for me cause it was a 30 minute tow and paved pits
was also nice.

or the fact that they own a paving company

Oh they did pave some areas.... Paved more spots for spectators to pay to park their motorhomes.
