Default The drag strip at Dallas, GA?

Well, I would like to know if Dallas is a slow track or not. I have heard about some people getting good times and other people that complain about the track being too slow. I would like to know the times that I can expect bone stock.

Dallas dragway is a peice of $hit track. The track is extremily ruff. Go to silver dollar.

Dallas was bad years ago when I last ran there, in '98...I hear they're sold, so it's closing anyway. Too bad, it's not like the Hardys didn't have enough money to make it something.

If you're up near Atlanta or towards the north-eastern side the closest place is Commerce... but of course, Commerce sucks unless it's the week before or after a huge event like the NHRA or Outlaw 10.5 races...
