We are lucky enough to still have two fairly close.
Sonoma Raceway (Sears Point) - elevation 13 feet - 95 miles from home - this is where I made my first pass to start the addiction/ learning in 2004 and where I usually run
Sacramento Raceway - elevation 72 feet - 55 miles from home
Famoso in Bakersfield - elevation 787 feet - 205 miles from home - still really want to run thereLast edited by Dignlif; January 31, 2013, 08:39 PM.Rich

Me? Well, Heartland Park Topeka is my home track, as it is only 10 minutes from my house. It is not, however, the first track I raced. That was Little Apple Raceway (now Midwest Raceway) in Manhattan, KS. I still like that little 1/8th mile track.

Two for me - Immokalee Regional Raceway is the closest, but is 1/8 mile. I primarily bracket race my Chevelle there, and the other is Bradenton Motorsports Park, which is 1/4 mile. I made my first pass there, back when it was known as DeSoto Dragway and was owned by Art Malone (a long long time ago!).
I always like to try a new track though...DW2013 - DNF (Gateway - trans failure)
DW2014 - SR BB/PA class winner!
DW2015 - Finished in 1 piece (for once!)
DW2016 - Still "Fox Free" ;)

Lubbock dragway was my home track till it closed due to getting repaved with concrete from less than reputable contractor, and they had to dig it up. Now its just 1/8 mile street racing at the top end of the track. I raced Hobbs N.M. a few times, and Amarillo back in the 90's when I wanted to slow down. I've raced Odessa Tx 1/8th mile too. Its down in a trench and has a SHORT shutdown.Go ahead, pull my finger.

Top End Dragways Moorhead MN 20 minutes from my house. Used to be Interstate Dragways was owned by Funny car from the early days. The first time I went as a spectator summer of 75 or 76 they had a guy light a stick of dinamite throw a piece of plywood on it then lay on top and get blown into the air. 10 years later some friends talked me into trying racing, I won on my first time out (4 rounds) there was no way to get unhooked after that.Last edited by bluewagon1; February 1, 2013, 08:03 AM.Drag week 06, 07, 08, 09, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17,18
