Best _ _ _ _ place for a racer to live

[Michael Kilduff]

Michael Beard has a dragstrip locator on his site 'staginglight.com', not sure if he has every track listed but he's got lots of 'em for sure.....you can search state by state if need be-here is a link, you can scroll through all the states-

Pretty good location here in the Lehigh Valley.
Maple Grove and Island , 1 hour or less.
Numidia ,Cecil County,Englishtown,Atco ,all 2 hours or less.
Skyview ,3 hours, Lebanon Valley 4 hours.
Only long Divisional trips are Dinwiddie ,at 6 hours and Epping ,at 7.[ If your lucky!]

Winston Salem, Raleigh, Greensboro, N.C. The climate is nice, there are tracks everywhere. We run some 1/4 mile, but lots of 1/8. Z-MAX and Bristol are close. Living near Piedmont Dragway would be best in my opinion. We have the V.I.R.road course near Danville, Va., quite a few oval short tracks, etc.We have the Carolina Class Racers here, a great combo group. This area is IHRA Div. 9 country. Check out Farmington Dragway and Mooresville Dragway. We also have stickshift clubs here, go to classic gearjammers.org The Mooresville,NC. area is home to all things motorsports. Fayetteville Motorsports Park still runs 1/4, hope this helps.

without a doubt NC..great weather, great tracks, nice people, NHRA&IHRA tracks, race year round! Wish I still lived there

I'd have to agree with everyone about North Carolina, but I'm about an hour north on the coast. Piedmont is about 4 1/2 hours, as is Mason-Dixon in Hagerstown, and at least half-a-dozen 1/8- and 1/4-mile drag strips which are closer. Florida used to be the place to play, but with all the tracks closing, it's not as much fun.

north carolina top's the list, lived around the smithfield/selma area just off i-95 and 70. i can count at least 8 tracks with in 1-1-1/2 hours driving time and then they ran every sunday, where?, your choice!!! but you better be on your game, there was a lot of local "heavy hitters" back then and i'm sure there still is. wish i was still there....

[Greg Hill]

I would have to say Louisville, Ky. Ohio Valley here, Bowling Green 120 miles, Indy 110 miles, combo races at Bowling Green and at Ohio Valley. Columbus is fairly close, St. Louis 4 hours, Chicago 5 hours, Norwalk 5 hours.

[ALMACK]

From my home in Bardstown, KY, there are 8 dragstrips within 120 miles. Those are all in the state of KY.

Las Vegas gets my vote too!

Centrally located for Divisional Races and National
Races on west Coast.

LVMS has a very full schedule so you do not need a lot
of other local tracks. Not a lot of Rain Outs to spoil the
weekend.

No doubt about it Tommy - we've pretty much got it easier than most in the country ! ! !
