Pacific Raceways is about a 20 mile drive for me, and Bremerton is about 45 miles, but I prefer a day spent there. You guys back east are spoiled with all the small tracks you have to choose from.

Then Tri-State is only about 10 miles away. Earned my TAD license in Salem Ohio. The farthest we ever went is Vegas to race. We did the NHRA Div 3 thing for 10 years,so only one race a year was in town.

I know Thats what I'm thinking it's not the cost of racing basic footbrake bracket car it's thecost of traveling 200 miles or so round trip

I have to drive past Cherokee raceway park, 11 miles from my home, to go to Bristol. Not much of a sacrifice though. English Mountain is abot 45 miles, Knoxville is approx 60 miles and London, Ky and Crossville are about 100 miles each. Brian Dunnigan

I race most of the time at Cecil County in Md and it is about 45 miles one way. Sometimes I race at Capital in Md which is actually closer as it is about 37 miles. Knock on wood I have always been able to drive it home. Ron
