That's terrific, when I lived there full time, the closest track was an 1/8th mile track in Atmore. We were just visiting with friends across the causeway from UWF a couple weeks back and drove in on I-10. Never realized the Emerald Coast Dragway was there.
In the early 80's the local Corvette club, MSCC, had the timing equipment and we had the use of Bronson field 1 weekend each month, so I suggested we set up a 1/4 mile and 1/8th mile course to drag race. Almost no one in the club was interested but I assured them we could make some money to upgrade our equipment so they reluctantly agreed. We had more than 100 cars show up to run at $5 a car.
We also did autocross's there a few times a year but never made any money, so after we made $500 on the first drag race the game was on. We couldn't run side by side for insurance reasons, but it sure beat an hours drive to Atmore.
Good luck... GUSTO
