martin is also amazing!!! but too far to go to on a regular basis. funny thing is a local windsorite bought and redid the track a few years ago, after the canadian gov't jerked him around when he wanted to open up a local track. bunch of a-holes! they told him he had to pay for million dollar off ramps, which they had already slated to replace.

30+ years ago I raced a lot at the old Tucson Dragway. In the past 15 years it's been Southwest International Raceway, further south on Houghton road (70 miles away). I don't get up there nearly enough. I've also been to Speedworld (240 miles away) a couple times, only ran at Firebird (200 miles away) once.

As the radio commercials use to scream: Sunday, Sunday , Sunday!!!!!
In my formative years we ran at;
Motor City Dragway, Detroit Dragway (both closed); now we use Milan, and/or Martin. We have run previously run at Lapeer, and Ubly.
Norwalk, Ohio isn't too far away.
We would like to run at Mid-Michigan, @ Stanton.
It doesn't matter to our crew. Tell us when and where, and we will be there!

Coles County, Illinois is my "home" track. It's a narrow NHRA 1/8 mile track. Rod the track owner is working hard to keep it a fun place to run. On race day it hooks well. It's about an hour away. Indy, Route 66, Gateway, and the old US 41, are all about 2 to 3 hours away.

I look forward to getting back to Martin - about 2 hours away, and I want to try Lapeer and Ubly sometime as well.

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.

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.
