    Brainerd does test and tune Tuesdays and Fridays. They are right off I 75 at the TN/GA line.

    There are still dragstrips all over the southeast in operation on a weekly basis.

    I am close enough to hear it, but far enough away for the sound to be soothing.

    When I was a kid, we lived about the same distance from the Anderson Speeday.

    Quicktoy Is it Winter yet?

    In Florida I believe we have Desoto in Bradenton. The big one in Gainesville and I believe the one I used to go to in Orlando is still open. I’m sure there’s more but that’s the three I’ve been to.

    Listen up...all you guys posting '1/8 mile tracks' for drag racing. This is America. A drag race is 1/4. Only 2 kinds of people run an 1/8 mile drag race, Hondas and pussies. I dont think Rick is racing a Honda.

    Post drag tracks for men...1/4 mile or STFU. 'Merica!!! hell yeah. <insert bald eagle screech and Chevy V8 revving past 8,000rpm here>

    :D

    Closest 1/4M one to Nashville https://beechbend.com/dragstrip/ in KY

    Other 1/8M tracks around here Buffalo Valley & Union Hill

    Memphis and Bristol on the bookends of the state have 1/4M tracks that the NHRA has Nationals on.

    The only frat I was ever in had automatic weapons and heavy artillery.

    But my drag cars have been slow...no $$$$ to invest. and now that I have some $$$ and hp is cheap (boosted LS, yes please) I want to do other stuff. Also doesnt help that the old school 1/4 mile track near me closed. And I hear Martin (US131) is running 1/8 for actual races mostly, but 1/4 mi for TNT.
