Re: Pits At Drag Strips
Not sure what this thread has to do with whether or not you like to sleep in tents, pickup beds, on roof racks or whatever.
Don uses a crew cab and a tag trailer and stays in motels. I believe he was commenting on the physical conditions of the pits where NHRA runs its national and divisional events. I use a modest Class C motorhome, but in my way of thinking, for what NHRA charges for a nat'l, you shouldn't have to steam clean the the carpets of your m/h after one of their events. Vegas, good , Fontana , good . Wild Horse, 50/50

Re: Pits At Drag Strips
LOL, one of the tracks I bracket race at has oil mat lane running between dirt pit spaces, the best part is there is one porta toilet, with no back wall in it, from the toilet seat up. AND, the back of the porta john is facing, and only about two hundred feet from the road into the local airport. everybody is friendly, as you are standing there, they all honk and wave as they go by on the road. Also, lots of room for your doggy to do his thing as well.

Re: Pits At Drag Strips
I have not been to many of the tracks mentioned but I have been to Norwalk which in my experience is in a league of its own.
This year on Hot Rod's Drag Week I will get to go to Atlanta, Darlington Charlotte and Bristol. However with less than 400 cars we will be on the asphalt, if there is any. I think Brandimere would normally be a nice track but it sucks for a class racer during the national event there. |

Re: Pits At Drag Strips
RPR Baytown, sportsman parking is a sippy hole to say the least. Shame because Owner could take off spec concrete and asphalt giving sportsman racers decent pitting. But that must be a pipe dream...LOL
