This stuff has to stop. First Ct dragway, Dover, LI e town now atco. LVD and wooing can’t be far behind.

There’s an old airport in CT shoreline someone should buy. And turn into a race track .

Don’t worry you won’t have to prove you were vaccinated just chipped so the drones can find you later . ��

Ridiculous. 99.8 percent survival rate .
Your not even close to eachother drag racing. What now we can’t trust people to go and social distance as needed, we need nanny GOV. To wipe our a$$e$$ for us too. Florida isn’t shut down at all and the numbers are far better than Many places shut down.

I guess I'm one of the lucky ones. I have 5 tracks close by. 2 within a 1/2 hour drive and 3 more 1-1/2 to 2 hour drive.

Epping is a good track, I have run it. Just stay out of the back 40 pits. That area turns into Lake Epping during a good rain. Ask me how I know.

how long ago was that? Epping is not as nice as Norwalk, but they have done a lot of improvements since getting a national. Compared to LVD facility, Epping is Norwalk, except LVD wants your business a lot more than Epping and they treat you accordingly. New manager this year at Epping, maybe it will be more weekly racer friendly

Depending on where in SC you are at, Greer Dragway is crappy pits but a good track. House of Hook in Aiken is a really good prepped track as well. Sucks about Atl Dragway, I am 30 minutes from it. But this track has been failing since NHRA bought it. When the previous owners had it it was always busy. Now if they can get 40-50 cars to show up for a bracket race they are doing good.

We`re in Starr.

My buddy,who has a house in Starr also,will scope out the situation when he moves down permanently in a couple of years.

Our little 1/8th mile Outlaw track is closing this summer. It is leased but is up for sale...the owner lives across the highway from it. His father leased it for 2 years and then passed away. The son inherited it and said he would not sell it to anybody who would use the land as a racetrack because he never wants to hear a drag car again!

So..... Lie to him. He can't tell you what to do with your land once it is paid for.

I never said it was as nice as Norwalk. I said it was a good track and the back 40 floods. Management always took good care of me. When the water was up to my tire's bead, they moved me to the best spot in the pits. A cement pad by the return road exit.

I ran the NHRA Reunion there and a few other times.
