The only ones I know of around are ORP, Muncie, and US 41 or whatever.

41 is a hookin track, a lot of people break their bu are fine at the others.

ORP not IRP has street legals on Tuesday night, if you ask me, don't race then period.

On Thursday its STICKY tire night, its not slicks only, as long as its a drag radial, ET Street, or Slick you can run.

On Saturday they have the Test and Tune for the points races on Sunday. You can go and race then even if you don't plan to race Sunday. From what I am hearing they also race for points and prizes now on Saturday if you choose to do that or you can just race.
Its preped better than on Thursdays from what I hear. Muncie has a better street night track then ORP from what everyone says.

Street legals means anything not on a trailor can run. You can get in a lane next to someone, but no spotting.
