OT - What Racing Series Has You Attended ?

[CrewChief]

A lot of the conversations around here hhave people touting one series as superior to another and so on. I for one am of the school that good racing is good racing regardless of series, so I thought it would be interesting to see exactly what series people who haunt this board have actually attended races for. Here are mine:

Midgets - ARDC, USAC
Sprint Cars - USAC, WOO, CRA, URC
Silver Crown - USAC
Modifieds - DIRT, NASCAR
Indy Cars - USAC, IRL, CART
Stock Cars - NASCAR (WC & BGN), ARCA
Road Racing - Can Am, IMSA, Trans Am

and of course a bunch of local track events but that is for another thread on what tracks you have attended.

The series that I have been able to see in person are:

IRL
CART
NASCAR Trucks
Indy Lights
Trans Am
IROC
ARCA

And of course the various series from stocks to midgets at my local short track, Kalamazoo Speedway.
