I think Thunder Hill is the best, no walls to hit and FAST turns! If you got skills that is!

Willow Springs. Fastest road in the west!

Willow Springs is fun because of the speed, Thunderhill is ok, Buttonwillow sucks, but the equalizer track is Sears Point. It shows how well a car and driver really work, and how well they work together.

I like Laguna Seca the best though I have never been to Willow springs. Buttonwillow I dislike. Sears Point I love for its technical end. Thunderhill is great but damn hot in the summer

My list goes
1.Laguna
2.ThunderHill
The only thing I hate about laguna is the sound ristriction that they have
And thunder hills straight away is just sweet.

THill - relatively safe, has a technical side and a faster side, but yeah, it's a spring or fall track.
Laguna would be 2nd. Sears has no room for error though it's technically very interesting.
Those are the only ones I've been on.

1. Thunderhill
2. California Motor Speedway
2. Sears Point
4. Las Vegas
5. Willow Springs
6. Laguna Seca
7. Road Ohio
8. Phoenix International
9. Buttonwillow (definitely a love/hate track)
10. Portland
Haven't been on the new Reno configuration yet so I can't factor it in.
T-Hill is by far my favorite... safe runoff, technical and fast.
Sears Point is definitely a love/hate track also but I love the test of nerve and car setup required.
California Motor Speedway is just plain fast...

As far as to drive on for me, its
1. Reno-Fernly The new fastest track in the west. Much faster I hear the willow springs. Plus the s's after the 1/4+ mile main straight, they are un real. Still going full balls out into them, and having the car stick its amazing feeling. Plus the 23 degree banking in a few corners is a nice bonus.
2. Thunderhill. Very fun track, love the off camber, blind corners. Gives more of a challenge. High speed straights, yet still technical areas. Also nice facilities, good tower that racers can go watch from.
3. Sears Point Great facilites. The best I think currently. Track is very fun, but like others stated, if you mess up, its not forgiving. Sears is more techinical than anything. Ya you gain some decent speed, but never topping out a car. Once you know the line, the track is very fluid.
4. Buttonwillow Now I know alot of people aren't thrilled with this track. However. I love it. Its fast, its got tight turns. Plus since they fixed the bus stop so its not wavey in the asphalt, its very quick. For being out in the middle of nowhere, the facilites on track are very nice, gas, tires, alot out there. Plus are decent observation deck to get out of the sun and watch some cars run.

Sears Point/Infineon is the only track I actually raced my 94GT at...Fun track!...I like the elevation changes and powering out of the last corner onto the start finish straight and going 70mph+ up turn one was a blast...
I've been to Laguna, but I've never actually raced there...I think I'll make that a priority when I get my next Mustang....I just want to experience the corkscrew, I've heard it's awesome...
