I don't race but a handful of times a year, but when I do I drive my car to the track. 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.

I have a nice track 37 miles from home...And if gas prices get as bad as they say,I don't think you will see a lot of people going too far...
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 race at Bristol as much as I can, its 80 miles each way, but we race two days in a row and sleep in the trailer. 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.
