Lapeer Dragway...small, backyard place, hot dog stand, bottled water. Dirt pits, water box leaks onto grounds around track entrance due to bumpy ashphalt and there is no way to avoid...hence look at my 60ft times....haha

Milan Dragway...larger nice place, campground, concessions, the works, beer, pop, tons of food.

Too bad we have to wait for snow to come and then melt. Can't wait to get out to the track this summer after taking the last one off.

That's pretty cool, here are my local tracks...

Island Dragway...small place but decent sized pits, concession stand and bleachers.

Of course here is the big track...Old Bridge Township Raceway Park...better known as Englishtown or E-Town.

To see the first track you posted, scroll up north on Island Rd and it's on the right. The star is a bit south.

That E-town place looks nice.

Cedar Falls Raceway

Web browser and Live Maps are incompatible

Sorry about the messed up looking link. Its just East of where Live Maps has it on Bennington Road, click on bird's eye view for a pretty decent shot. Its a small and simple place to race, and about 10$ for unlimited passes on test and tune nights. Can't beat only a ten minute drive to a 1/4 mile track! Never crowded except for all night street drags which brings hundreds of rice boys going about 16.8@~80mph.

New England Dragway.....Decent size place, no beer just soda and the food kinda sucks. I've never raced here so can't speak for the track itself.

gateway is the only strip within range for me, apparently there used to be one at the I-55 raceway, but its just the dirt track now.

No, you have problems!!..... Just kidding bro! Just kiddin!!


I actually did zoom in as close as I could, and scoped out the turn arounds. I usually just shift into 5th and slowly brake and use the last turn-a-round.

I've raced here MANY times. My fastest (only) drag radial passes were here, as well as my fastest street tire passes. I'm usually able to snag some decent 60's, and being only 100' or so above sea level it usually has good air! I just HATE the drive there (3 hours from my house) and the pits suck something bad.

Route 66 Raceway

You have to scroll down slightly, since the star actually shows up on Chicagoland Speedway. I live about 7 miles east of there and can hear every NHRA or Nascar event, at my house. Tell me again why I haven't been to the track since 1999?

That big oval track is Chicagoland Speedway where NASCAR runs...how cool would that be to have your test and tune right next to a NASCAR race

That is sweet. Just watch out for drunks!! They like to party during Nascar. My buddy drank a case of beer during the MIS race. He did NOT drive, but he was late to work the next day by 4 hours....I told him to go home...he looked like death!!!!! hahaha
