Most favorate track and most hated tracks

As far as tracks I've run on before (which are essentially all the so-cal tracks), I've compiled a nice little list of tracks I like and don't like.

Streets of Willow Springs:
I like for its technicality and bearing advantage for smaller, lower HP cars. This track is definetly more of a suspension/brakes/driver track then it is a muscle track.

Willow Springs Internation (Big Willow):
Quite possibly my favorate "big" track. Although a disadvantage for smaller, lower HP cars like mine, espically on the uphill section, picking a correct line out of the grand stand hairpin (turn 6 if I remember correctly), a lower HP car with properly setup suspension can easily pass a big HP cars into the esses right there (and then get passed in a hurry right after onto the back straight, lol)

California Speedway Roval:
I don't like. Crashed a Porsche GT3 Cup car there. I don't like.

Buttonwillow:
The other "big track" I like. This track has a nice technical section along with a med. - med high speed section with rapid elevation change 3 times over. Only thing about this track is that even though it broke my road race cherry, this is essentially my bad luck track. Every time I go out there, as prepared as I can get, something always goes wrong and I go home early due to a mechanial or whatever (usually is mechanical). Last time I went there, I couldn't find my wheel lock key, so I was force to run on crappy street tires (I couldn't swap to R-compound), and my oil cap went bye bye. The previous time I went there, I ended up snapping an axle in a H2 class integra. The time before that, I rolled my original civic project over lost hill (thank god for a roll cage). So, this course is a love/hate type of relationship. Every time I go there, i end up getting there early to talk to the track in hopes it wouldn't fuck me up. So much for that shit.
