Default Any 1/4 strips open this month?

I live on Long Island..raceway,atco and island are all closed down till March. Does anybody know any dragstrips that are still operating within a 300 mile radius?

I would agree with you there and fact we are getting cold again and we all knew it would happen is probbly why they didn't bother opening up.

Maybe insure only covers them certin months or they have to pay monthly for staff? Causing a loss for them even with these nice weekends other wise I don't know why they would not open.

True but they were supposedly doing something with the grandstands (the ones on the left side are all gone now) and that's why the change from reopening in January to what became early March...now it seems that we're back to a January reopening again?

Please dont tell me you didnt do a pulley because of what these 13 sec guys from the thread below told you not too. They are just some slow guys giving bad advise.

Thats just selling yourself short. Oh well good luck at the track
