faster track nb or mmd
mmd has closed for the season and I need a racing fix so I'm headed out to nb this weekend. Best I could run at mmd was 8.41@87.3mph in 90* weather. Swapped the nittos for mt et street and installed eibach launch springs. Hoping to break 7's...just wanted to hear from those who have run on both tracks on witch one they prefer.

Motor Mile all the way.Natural Bridge is like a third world country compared to Shelor.
I've never run the same setup on the car at both places,so I can't say which is faster,although I'd say there's no way Shelor isn't faster.

I'm not sure on the elevation of either place.

Same with mmd(except fpr the drunk rednecks). lol..I guess when peoples cars dont run what they want they blame track prep.

o Yes,or just short of it.
I forgot to add Piedmont to the list too.I'd rate it between the two.Been a while since I've been to New London(it's been before Marshall's family bought it).
None of the 1/8th mile tracks I've been to compared to Bristol,MIR,Rockingham or VMP as far as prep,but then again,they were holding pro events there,so of course they were putting more time into the track.On average,my 1/8th mile times at those tracks were faster than any of the local tracks.
