Default tracks in near your base

Post your Location and tracks near you. Don't forget length of track and how far.

Ft Knox
1. Hardinsburg, 1/8 mi, 30 min from post
2. Ohio valley raceway, 1/8 mi, 15 min
3. Beech Bend Raceway, 1/4 mi, 1hr 15 min
4. Clay City, 1/4 mi, 1.5 hrs

Then there's this, but it's not 100%. Only those tracks that submitted to them. locator

Don't forget about Infineon Raceway in Sonoma/Sears Point. It's a 1/4 mile about 80 miles from Beale. Big NHRA National event there every year in July.

Did we meet briefly at IHOP in late October? You would have been there with a buddy with a black T/A

I raced at Scribner for the first 3-4 years it opened. Was an old air field out in the middle of the corn and beans. I used to be sponsored by the McDonalds in Scribner. They paid my entries for the car and 1 crew. That really helped out for a GI racer. Great place to race really, I see it has come along ways since '83 when I left.

Stationed at Charleston AFB in South Carolina.
The only track I've been to is LowCountry Dragway. It's an 1/8 mile track located approx. 20 mins. from base in Moncks Corner, SC. Good track and the staff that works there are all great.

i'm talking "going the speed limit" times... i've done it in an hour and a half... i don't like taking 20 tho, it's actually slower than taking 99 all the way up... and as for infineon, i haven't raced there... so i didn't know it was there...
