Brewerton races on Fridays, Fulton races on Saturdays, Cayuga County Fairgrounds (Weedsport) races on Sundays, Utica-Rome races on Sundays. Rolling Wheels is more of a special event track and I believe they have a special sprint show coming up later this month. Oswego is a paved track that runs super modifieds. I'm not really sure of the status of Oswego but all the other tracks I mentioned are good. All these tracks are located within about 45 minutes of Syracuse. If you want to travel a little further there are several more tracks within traveling distance. It's been a few years since I've been to a race there but I always liked the 1/2 mile at Utica-Rome, the 5/8 mile at Rolliing Wheels when it's good, but at times it can be bad. LOL Weedsport, Brewerton, and Fulton are all in the 1/3 to 3/8 mile size with each being unique in shape and banking. You may want to visit http://www.dirttrackdigest.com/ for news and information about tracks in that area. That area is a hotbed for dirt racing and the big block modifieds are their headline class.
Not sure of the traveling distance, but the track that was on my personal hit-list last time in NY, was Woodhull Raceway. Never been there, but the place gets rave reviews. For at least 4 years now, they AVERAGE 150 cars a night.
When I asked on raceny.com about comments regarding Woodhull, I got many responses, but ZERO negative reviews.
There are soooooo many good tracks in that area (and if you look around, I bet you'll find several mid-week shows too), that you should pick several different ones, and have a "plan-B" for each. Many of these tracks are within 30-45 minute drive of each other, and race on Fri-Sat-Sun, plus the mid-week stuff.
Have a blast... it's a hot-bed of short track racing in that area...!
