Thompson and Norwalk. Neither one is particularly close. Thompson is trash though. You can have fun racing 15 second Hondas with passengers and all that.

x3 for Norwalk. It's not far, and it's really nice. If you stop at Summit, don't talk to the floor sales people because they are major jerks and it will ruin your mail order experience. If their computer doesn't say it will fit, they won't sell you the part (perfect for us LS4 guys...), even if it something that can obviously be made to fit like a carb. Even though I grew up in the area, I've ordered parts from Jegs for years.

I live in Akron! Definitely Norwalk, hands down. Then Quaker city would be the next best, then 42. 42 is definitely trash. I don't really know of any others worth going to. Norwalk is definitely worth the drive, we are going to start going up here soon. They have the Super Chevy Show on the second weekend of June, Im gonna be there, can't wait. Norwalk is probably one of the best in the country, so you cant go wrong at all there.

Yeah, and if I confused anyone by mashing those two thoughts together Norwalk is sponsered by Summit Racing and is in the oposite direction from Summit Racing's store.

The Pontiac Nationals are at Norwalk in August too.

Hey man lets be honest, we drive POS fwd cars that run 13s. If I can kill 15 sec hondas, I'll take it. We're not that much higher on the totem pole, LS4 cars are still slow as **** sliding downhill in the drag racing world.
