Living in the west kinda sucks…. I probably race at Famoso more than any on the list unfortunately, but then again, I’m pretty much just a “special event” kind of hobby racer that puts on a handful of passes a year. I haven’t run a “points” deal since 2016. I’m really starting to question why even have a racecar…..

Sonoma is only 75 miles from me in Tracy, CA. But a [censored] tow from the Central Valley. Either across two different 2 lane highways (traffic) or through the east bay area (TRAFFIC and idiots). Sometimes it's 2.5 hours each way. I would rather tow to Famoso!

Famoso is 206 miles
Redding is 228 miles
Fallon, NV is 263 miles, much of that uphill over the Hwy 80 summit
Samoa is 330 miles
Irwindale is 336 miles, but...what a great facility!

There are two spots, probably 2-3 miles from my house that we used frequently, and they were all concrete, then there are a couple more that are maybe 15? miles and they are blacktop. There is one spot we used to be at every week, that one was 24 miles from my house and blacktop. It would be great to go back to those times.

Just 30 minutes to Indianapolis Raceway Park (or whatever they're calling it now). 2 hours to Edgewater. About 1 1/2 to Muncie, or Bunker Hill.

68 miles to the closest track for me. Little over an hour drive. Been doing it for years.

I always envied the guys that live close to the track.

That’ll be 350 miles each way…. but we’ll have the time change on our side heading west on the way home. I’m hoping the game changer will be being 25min from Sturgis Dragway (1/8th mile). Other than that 320 miles to the MT track, and 281 to julesburg.

I was afraid we were gonna lose Muncie this year. Hopefully it stays around a long time.

I have not heard any negative issues about Muncie . I know the people that run it . There have been many races this year , most we had to make a spot to park . That many racers there . Always busy . Gary

I haven't raced in a very long time. Back then in Ohio I usually raced 4 times a week at the following. Mostly the first three tracks or occasionally Thompson , the Game Preserve or Dragway 42. Went to Norwalk once for a Thanksgiving race. Brrrr to cold to get any traction. Snowed on the way home. Never went back. Too many decent tracks much closer.

whistling Game preserve RT 88 - 9 mi (hooked better than any track around)
Quaker City - 28 mi
Meander - 17 mi aka Ohio Drag City
Sunset - 27 mi
Thompson - 30 mi
Dragway 42 - 78 mi
Norwalk - 96 mi

Now I live in N.E. Tennessee and i am way older. If I was to start racing again (haven't decided yet) it would probably be at Bristol at most once a week and maybe an occasional Nss race. (None close)

Bristol Dragway - 17 miles
Zmax Charlotte, N.C. - 150 mi
several smaller tracks that I have never been to in between

In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is.
