Firebird has a reputation for being the friendliest track there is.
Since I grew up at Lions, I dig tracks that still look pure, or in modern terms, "old school".
Famoso (aka "Bakersfield") is another place that looks very much like the 1st time we ran there in the early '70s.

The modern palaces that NHRA builds all look similar: cold, authoritarian, and kinda elitist.
