OK, the desert at Firebird isn't as pretty as some of the tracks with real trees around
but what are the big negatives to Firebird? Now the restrooms have never been that great, but what else? I've always heard a lot of bad stuff about the track surface, but they always seem to run good there except for a few instances. (e.g. Pro Stock 2 or 3 years ago!) I went back and looked at the final qualifying in Top Fuel for all of the events this year; of the 8 events, Firebird had the quickest #1 qualifying time @ 3.733. They also had the 3rd most qualifying runs in the 3.70's with 4, only Pomona (10) and Kansas (5) had more. Firebird also had the 2nd quickest TF field. So I'm curious what else everyone doesn't like about Firebird? I've been going there since the 1st race in '85, so maybe I'm just used to bad!
