How far are You,,,

from the track that You race at?
All the tracks in My area are at least 60-90 miles away,,,,,so wondering if all the drag racers are closer to the tracks or about the same.
Thanks

Most guys around here race on their keyboard so, actually, they're VERY close to the track.

Look at me. Over 4000 posts and I don't even own a race car. Keyboard racing, I tell ya!

When I was racing I was about 45 minutes from Englishtown, about 2 hours from Atco, and about 1.5 hours from Island Raceway. NJ drivers are lucky to have 3 active tracks in the state.

I'm exactly one mile south of Englishtown. Atco is about 55 miles from here. Never been anywhere but E-town, but I think that's gonna change this year.
