to Hickory NC from Orlando FL...
you might want to go to carolianarides.com to find more info and guys in your area.
most guys into racing around here go to mooresville dragway, but it's only an 1/8.

Rockingham is the closest 1/4th mile and thats 2.5 hours away. You have Farmington, Mooresville, & Shadyside which are 1/8th mile tracks that are about 45 min to an hour away.
There are always people cruising down Hwy 70 from the Misubishi Dealership to Wal Mart on Friday & Saturday nights.
There are lots of cruise ins ever weekend in the surrounding cities too. Myra's in Valdese has one every Friday night. There is one in downtown Lenoir and Morganton every other saturday night also.
Check out www.horsepowerjunkies.com its a local NC board also.
What brings you to Hickory?

As far as the tracks i might hit up the 1/8 miles once or twice but im already a lil tired from the 1/8 miles back in FL (Lakeland). i really wanted to check out the tracks here since "NC so big into racing" i thought the tracks would be nice..unlike "Orlando SpinWorld", lol..which i actually did pretty decent for street tires....Isnt there a drag strip in charlotte or something? they would make a killing, if not....o well...
Anyways..thanx for the replys..ill check those site out..and if anybody else know of places people hang out around hickory let me know..

I think there is one in Wilkesboro, 1/8th mile i believe. Also, Bristol Dragway in Bristol, TN is really not that far away from you. Street Fights are usually April-October Tuesday and Thursday nights. 10 dollars to race or 5 dollars to watch. Bristol is 1/4 mile and I run there sometimes.
