Default Re: Top 10 "can't find" drag strips

While on vacation in Aruba, it was an adventure finding the dragstrip.
No street signs, goats in the road ,some pretty rough dirt roads.

Maui HI dragstrip in the middle of a sugar cane field. The track then was open 1 Saturday a month and followed the bright lights in the field to find it. I was accused of taking vacation to the island based on when the track was open. I took the 5th

Brewer's Drag Strip
Sharpsburg, NC
Outlaw,unsanctioned 1/8 mile track.
Starting line covered by a large carport like structure. Track runs downhill and very obvious. My car would run close to a tenth faster due to downhill compared to other tracks in the area.

Smile Re: Top 10 "can't find" drag strips

Found this track as I was driving to Mount St. Helens in Toutle, Wa. 4 years ago. 1/8 outlaw track.

http://www.riverdaleraceway.com/

There was about 10 or 12 of us there that day. No return road. 2 or 3 pair go down the track, turn around and wait off to the right side until the starter waves a white flag. Then drive back to the starting line/ pit area. What a hoot.

Yes and when something bad happens you have a front row seat and because of the cars and people who they let run there it is often.

I nominate North Star Dragway in Denton TX for easiest to see from the highway but hardest to get to!

Sanair....lost in dairy cow country....stopped to ask for directions....nobody speaks
English.....we don't speak French...

One Guy who looks like Alfred E. Newman keeps saying exeeet,exeeet.....sen de sen... ?add Heavy French accent.... HUH?

Get back on highway.....see race car transporter on overpass....jam on brakes and exit....chase him....He stops...he's lost too......!

Look up on pole where we stopped....sign says Sanair....with an arrow.....found it....Yea !

That was 1970..

Maple Grove after dark coming in from the opposite direction off Bowmansville Rd a couple years ago.....that was not fun either....
A farmer was riding a tractor and his headlights lit the road sign that I recognized.....Whew......

Island Dragway entry road is almost unrecognizable by people not familiar with it....They used to put a temporary sign out on Rt 46 on racedays....
