So Where's the nearest drag strip?

[ZeGuru]

Brainerd can't be the closest, is it? I've been up there once as a little kid, but never as a driver.

It would be nice not to have to make a day trip just to get up there.

[ZeGuru]

...So, I guess Brainerd is the closest???

Here you go! From the results, it looks like you only have 3 which includes Brainerd.

Thank ya sir, even if it's a little depressing

You're welcome! The website might be useful for someone else. Hey, you can always move out here to Cali where we have quite a few of them!

Hey, you found it!

Most people I know who drag race either go to Rock Falls in WI or Cedar Falls in IA.

Grove Creek is the closest, but a lot of people don't like the 1/8th mile.

^^Thanks, Why are there no drag strips around here? Seems like the state must condone street racing or something.

[TehKing]

NIMBY.

That is why there are none closer.

[ZeGuru]

And that's the attitude that promotes street racing (I know that's not your opinion). You can't yell at a bunch of kids for street racing when there's no place to do it.

[TehKing]

That isn't a valid reason for street racing. There are no valid reasons.

Grove Creek is only about an hour away, as is Rock Falls.

[ZeGuru]

Of course there is no valid reason, there's not a real vaild reason for a lot of things people do. But when you have outlets available, people will use them.

And one other thing... It's not like street racing is a new thing. It's been happening since the first time two young men were given the keys to their dads cars.

Unfortunately most cities look down on dragstrips, there was a group of guys looking to open a 1/4 mile dragstrip within 30 minutes of downtown. They tried for almost 3 years, had several places where they could buy the land to do it, but in the end all of the cities voted the idea down .

I love to drag race myself, and if your looking for a decently close place with a 1/4 mile strip your pretty much stuck with Rock Falls in Wisconsin.
