It depends on your car. I went to maple for the first time in six years and couldn't get my car to come off the starting line on nitrous. So my car is a ton faster because of the starting line. I would say 2 tenths for a car with out traction problems. I remembered why I drive a half hour longer to go to Cecil after my trip to maple. Shame maple is only 45-50 mins from my house. Oh and the track people told me not to bring my car back on a Friday street night again.

It's at sea level and has the best starting line out of all those tracks you mentioned. It is also concrete to the 1/8. The track is faster if it short how do people get better mph? What did they shorten that too? Lol

My times & MPH from Cecil and MIR were always comparable, and both are close-to-sea-level tracks w/ decently prepared starting lines. I know if I go to other tracks like 75-80 or Mason-Dixon that both the altitude and / or traction issues are going to slow me down.

I would say not much if any. When I had my 63 there a few years ago with the old eng it ran 11.60's on an average day. It had run as fast as 11.49 at Cecil on a great day but average days at Cecil were 11.70's and 60's. Ron

After the one time I went there this year, I am never going back. Nice facility, management just sucks.

I agree with that Kevin. I went there a few years back to see the Hemi shootout at the Dutch Classic and when I asked the guys at the gate if the Hemi cars ran yet they looked at me like I had two heads and had no idea what I was talking about.  Ron

I've been to both many times over the years. Cecil is at a lower satic level than MG so a slight edge to Cecil there. This time of the year though I think the Grove can be faster. There are a ton of trees at the MG and the adjusted air there can be REAL good. I've never had traction issues there but have always run there during special events. Go the weekend after the Dutch and it should be good.
