Google has a cool thing called Maps that lets you put in search keywords and find businesses near whatever location you give it.
Using your zip code, I was able to find a relatively close drag strip: http://www.kidragway.com/ |

2hrs isn't bad really to drive to race.........There are some members that probably don't have a 1/4mile track within 8 hours of them, now that would suck. My rule if we ever look at moving after I graduate school is we have to live within 4 hrs of a 1/4mile track.

yea, I was told when I moved up here there would be a track in Eureka KS, that was a lie... back when I lived in Roswell there was a track 10 mins from my house, so I basically grew up at the strip...Luckily this track is only an hour away, Good luck this weekend Colonel hope the trip and the races go well for you.
