Distance to tracks

[Fred Elsass]

Division 4 has had that problem forever. I lived in Abilene, Texas for many years and raced out of there. There is song that goes, I love you so much I would waltz across Texas with you.


Whenever we would go home to Ohio to visit family it would take us almost six hours to get out of Texas.


I wrote to Wally Parks about this and he basically said, sorry.

Sarge ,
you have it pretty easy , though im sure the west coast may argue the toss .
You should try down here . Closest away track is about 10hrs so about 8 hrs before i get out of state . Next is 11 hrs or so and that 10hrs to get out of state the other way .
Everyone says nothing bigger than Texas , I have been there a few times , Aus can put it in the shade at times

Just as a side note my closest points race is 400 miles away in another division.

I,m lucky, 2 divisionals within 200 miles (LVD Epping) was 4 till atco,e-town closed, there are some ranches in Texas bigger then my home state

We are spoiled in Div 3, but especially in Ohio!

The downside is that we have winter...

I sympathize with everybody out west, i can't imagine.

We are out West in Nevada:

All Div7 races are under 300 for us on
easy Highways. Three are within 35 Miles.

Four National races: Two are 35 Miles / Two are about 250 Miles

That is the extent of our Stock/SS racing.

We moved to Indianapolis four years ago hard to beat for racing . I?m 20 minutes from IRP so getting to sleep in my own bed for the Nationals , Spring classic now , Fall Classic , and the Divisional race is pretty sweet . Joliet , Saint Louis , Columbus, Bowling green , Norwalk , all three to four hours roughly . Not to mention I think around eight drag strips within less than an hour or two give or take .
