There is no reason to hate to say it.....
Golf courses, basketball courts, baseball diamonds, hockey rinks, football fields, running tracks, tennis courts......you name, I can get to any number of them in minutes, yet I have to drive hours to get to a dragstrip, then sit in LONG HOURS of traffic to get home, at ridiculous gas and toll prices, as there isn't a SINGLE track in my entire state, or Mass. So guess what???
I have 3 perfect lanes of concrete, with shoulders on each side, straight and flat, no on/off ramps and shutdown forever, 3 miles from me. If I get pinched, or crash....it's on me.
F the state and anyone with a problem. They don't like it???
THEN ALLOW A TRACK TO BE BUILT IN A FREAKIN' STATE THAT HAS ACRE AFTER ACRE AFTER ACRE OF !!!!!!WOODS!!!!! 
Yeah not sure why Conn & Mass have their heads up their butt!? I was involved in 1(Gardner) out of the 4 attempts(Orange,Gardner,Winchendon,& Uxbridge) I know of to build a track in Mass. It seems noise is the biggest issue to most.

Had a great time last night.
There is still nothing that compares to making a pass on the street.
Sorry to the Haters!
No racetracks in So Cal anymore.
There is many streets safer than Irwindale!
Just my 2 cents
And yes I am a Street Racer! 
 Keep it on the track.  I witnessed a wrecker pulling a duster back upright that had been upside down on it top burning in a ditch.. the driver and his 3 passengers were burned up like toast. white nuckle bones could be seen sticking out of the charred flesh of one of the hands. A eye witness ( that I knew ) said they was racing and lost controll. the eye witness tried to help but could do nothing. He said he could hear the passengers screaming as the fire killed them but, the way the car landed upside down in the ditch they could not get out and he could not help they...

Ct. & Mass (along with most of America) are run by jag-offs.
Many areas are loud.....like airports. I'd rather have a track in Ct. that required mufflers, than sit in traffic for HOURS trying to get home from ATCO.

Wow, In NC you can race just about anything within a 1 hour radius for a small fee except horses.
How nice it would be to have a legal spot less than a hour away.

Well, I finally made it out Dom, I saw your car hitting the Wiener Snitzle drive-thru and then didnt see it out at the street. 
Man, I was jonesin for a strawberry lemonade then everyone went to the base for what was SUPPOSED to be a race from some mouthy punk from down the hill that never happened. He had a 10.60 n/a smallblock Nova(imagine that)that he claimed was the shiznitt but after he backed it off the trailer sounding crappy and loading up, he wussed out claiming that the other car he was going to race took to long or something like that. Sorry I missed you........
Yeah I was there for all of that. I was the young guy with a hat and Mopar shirt. That didnt happen to be you standing by the 55 with a rat motor and 4spd after he made a pass, was it?

However, I would think more people have died at tracks racing than on the street but maybe I`m wrong here and as soon as I put slicks on my pig I plan on making a pass or two for some coin and a bit of fun............
