I'm in the land of little/no tracks now.

Might try to make it over to Fontana in a few months.

Eh why not, your wife thinks thats my last name anyways

Speeds8erM-1 04-02-2006 04:58 AM

All we have really close by (still 40 miles for either one for most people) are 1/8 mile tracks. Emerald Coast Dragway in Holt Florida and Atmore Dragway in Atmore Alabama. There is also Irvington Dragway just outside Mobile Alabama but it's not even a full 1/8, some people like it though.

TwoFast4Lv 04-02-2006 11:13 AM

We have Pacific Raceways, Bremerton Raceways and just over the Canadain Border there is Mission Raceways. None of them closer then an hour away ;)

Richmond Dragway or Virginia Motorsports park both within 20-30 minutes.

BOOSTED98GT 04-22-2006 12:06 PM

Mason Dixon is about 45 minutes from me. I think Cecil is about 1.5 hrs, and the same for Maple Grove.

blackfang 04-22-2006 12:41 PM

Cecil is a nice fast track.
