So the update has added in a race track where you can pay 50,000 (so far) to enter your dragon and then race it. Unlike most things in Dragonvale this is an interactive race and dragon selection has a large impact upon the outcome as the dragons naturally move faster in the environments they are attuned to and move slower in ones that are their opposites.

What I am after is a list of the race tracks and their elements. I can guess at some of them but some times I am very far off (I thought shimmering was ice, instead it was lightning for example).

I think you meant Dragonvale, not Dragon value, though I have to admit I would be interested in playing the latter if it exists :) – Tacroy Jul 26 '12 at 23:15
Whoops! That would be why it didn't show up right I suppose! – James Jul 26 '12 at 23:16

I have given this an upvote for posting some specific dragons but I am going to leave the other one as the answer because it explains the elements and with new dragons being added all the time other possibilities may exist! – James Nov 24 '12 at 20:58

Here are additional dragons you can win with based on track elements. I am including gem dragons that will win in each category as well.

Rhyme & Reason - (air+cold) Olympus, Snow
Dramoria - (metal+Ice) Mine, Olympus, Rainbow
Electric Skies - (lightening+air) *RUBY, Sonic, Lunar Eclipse, Olympus
Blast Furnace - (fire+metal) *Ruby, Forge, Brass, Olympus
Year Of The Dragon - (fire+air+earth+water) *Sapphire, *Opal, Panlong, Bone
Cherry Road - (fire+plant+earth) *Opal, Flower, Poison, Obsidian, Panlong, Olympus, Lava
Ulster Meadows - (plant+earth) *Peridot, Tree Dragon
Marshlands - (water+plant+earth) *Pearl, Swamp, Olympus, Seaweed
Shimmering Faultline - (lightening,earth) *Emerald, *Peridot, Quake, Crystal

My experience shows that the gem dragons do very well as long as you use the ones I listed for each race. I always choose the gem dragon if available in my list for a particular race. The strongest dragons are gem, Panlong, and Olympus if available for that race. Good luck!

If you have them, it is best to use the Rainbow or Leap Year dragons. I use them and even if I only get 'great' in the races, I finish 1st by quite a stretch. However, if you don't own them use the Panlong Dragon, but you will have to work harder :)
