1. Flat Kart 2. Outlaw Karts 3.Late Model
Those are my top 3 circle track catagories. Drag Racing holds a special place in my heart because I was born and raised into drag racing. Only reason I do karts is because I cant drive a door car in drag racing yet and karts are way more affordable.

Im an old racer who raced street stock, late models and sprint cars in the 80's and later got into karting when my son became interested in racing. If I was going to buy a ticket to watch a race it would be sprints (wing or non wing) or midgets. As far as karting goes I love it and all no matter which class. We have clones, stock appearings, open motors and box stock. Each is interesting in its own way to race but I wouldnt go out of my way to pay to just watch a kart race. Fastest kart starts on the pole, not much (if any) passing.

There is nothing, and I mean nothing, better than winged sprint cars. 
Especially when it's your kid driving it.

I'm a race fan first, and a racer second. I like to watch the best of the best throw down. I live an hour and a half from Lucas Oil Speedway in Wheatland, MO. They have a combination of Lucas Oil Late models twice a year, MLRA Late Models, ASCS Sprints twice, Powri WAR Sprints twice, not to mention their weekly shows are no slouch with USRA Mods, B-Mods, Powri Super Stock, and more. I am spoiled to say the least. For me, I find that it is difficult to go just about anywhere else for a weekly show when I can save my pennies and go to such a pristine facility.
During my time at Mississippi State, I was 20 minutes from the Magnolia Speedway. USCS Sprints twice a year, MIssissippi Challenge Series Super Lates 2 or 3 times a year, Lucas Oil Late Models for the Clash At the Mag, Comp Cams Super Dirt Series Late models once a year, and the Southern All Stars Super Late Models once a year. Definitely a late model and street stock part of the country.
I like so many others also make my pilgrimage to the famed Knoxville Raceway every August for a spectacle unlike any other. I guess you could say that my preference is for race cars that I will probably never hope to afford. If I had to pick, it's a tie for first between 360/410 sprints (winged or not), and Super Late Models.
Races still on the bucket list:
1. Chili Bowl
2. Kings Royal
3. Late Model Dream/World 100
4. Indiana Sprint Week
5. Indiana Midget Week
6. Daytona 500
7. US Grand Prix
8. NHRA US Nationals
9. Bristol Night Race (Have tickets for this year)
Oh and I kinda like the smell of nitro-methane in really large quantities.

7. is the only one I've seen.
At Watkins Glen and I think it was the summer of 1962.
Two biggies for me were Le Mans and Nurenburg Ring (sp) summer of 1967.

My dad went to Austin last year, and I definitely want to get down there. Having driven by COTA I just have to find an excuse to go into COTA, the place is immaculate.

Hope youve got plenty of spare parts for the shootout lol. With that said, I know some guys that got lucky through two or 3 of their prelim races and ended up in the B main of stock non wing, and the C main for outlaw non wing.

it didn't look like the junior sprints were as rough as some of the adult classes. All you can do is prepare and hope for the best.

Oh yeah the Jr. Sprints are always good racing. Its always superman in the micros that causes the issues.

If the A Mods and B mods were as fast as the kart motors you build they were probably bad fast cars.
