Default Central IL 1/4 Mile

Like it says... I'm looking for a 1/4 mile track somewhere in Central IL. I'm in between Bloomington and Springfield so i could go North or South. The closest i could find was Coles County Dragway, which is only an 1/8 i believe-plus that's about 1 1/2-2 hrs. for me. It'de be great if there was a track finder Sticky by region, or even the whole site. Would any mods like to start it, then members could post track location and length??

Seems like all the guys around here go all the way to gateway down by StLouis. Havent heard of any others besides the spots where the streetracers meet up.

Cordova. I think your best bet is Cordova or Gateway. There's supposed to be one built just north of Bloomington in Minonk, but I don't think they have even broke ground yet. Havana should be fairly close to you, but it is only an 1/8th.

The Minonk track is starting to remind me of a Unicorn. It is rumored to be, but no tangible proof.

Cordova, US 41, Gateway, Byron and RT66 are it for around here.
