1.2 miles,,I can hear the announcer on a clear nite, can't tell what he is saying but I can hear him.
Light travels faster than the speed of sound,,,this is why some people seem bright untill you hear them speak.

From my driveway to my pit space is 4.4 miles
I thought I had it good. It is 30 miles each way for me. A smaller 1/8th mile track is about 60, and several others when you open up the drive time to 2-3 hours.

Little over 1.5 hours to Las Vegas. 3hrs to Speedworld over by Phoenix. 3hrs to Fontana. When diesel hit 5 a gallon a couple years ago I parked the car and haven't been out since.
When I live in sodak the two "local" tracks were 4 hours away.
We miss seeing you at the track!

Don, I didn't know that Clarksville was still racing. I raced there in the mid 80's. First time I went there, missed the sign that said "DRAG STRIP", hand painted on a 1 X 3, 12" long, cut on one end to a point, nailed to a fence post. I was looking for a big billboard. Do they still have the high speed, banked turn at the end of the shut down? Brian Dunnigan
