This is about the same distance as Atlanta Dragway, maybe 30 minutes longer from Midtown. Great track...been down there many a time.

Test and tune at Commerce is not as busy as it once was. A couple of Friday nights this season I could have run as many times as I wanted. I elected to only do 5 but could have run all night. The only moderately busy TnT's are the weekends they have big events and the "big guys" are out there t&t'ing too.

I was there the past 2 Friday's and was surprised that it wasn't crowded like it normally is. There's an MCE event at silverdollar this sunday and the LSX shootout is this Saturday and Sunday at commerce. Silver Dollar is definitely prepped better and the elevation is a few hundred feet less than commerce.
