Pits At Drag Strips
 
Since I am a Pit Snob I thought it would be fun and interesting to see racers thoughts about the various Pits in The Racing Drag Strips and their Conditions .
I I feel Las Vegas has the best Pits in The West all pavement and plenty of room, well organized. if a racer is pitted near the finish line their Race car can coast down towards the staging lanes a very gradual decline > Staging Lanes wide and marked well.

I have to agree with you, the pits in Vegas are excellent.

Since we camp at the rack and usually have the dog with us we prefer to park in the grass areas. Everyone has their own idea of what the pit should be like. I think the rest rooms are the most important thing that the track should have in clean sanitary condition. Then a good concession area and stands for the few remaining spectators that show up.
All of the division 2 tracks have pretty good facilities. Gainesville and SGMP are the best down here.

There is no better pit area than Summit Motorsports Park in Norwalk, OH. It is paved and has electrical outlets in every spot. Now this isn't on both sides of the track, just the east side. If you are early enough for the divisional meet you can get a slice of blacktop. Obviously at the nationals us scrubs are kicked to the grass on the west side. I would like you to know that I'm biased because this is my home track.

Your right on the no grass in Vegas. The desert at 110 degrees makes short work of grass when it rains once or twice a year. Shade, Nice M.H. with A/C or a cold beverage is the best part of the pits in Vegas.

SGMPhas some elect hookups. I think they charge about $100 for the weekend.

You would think that Baytown could pave the pits with the money they got from insurance companies for storing all those flood cars
