Since I have spent all summer at the first track watching everyone play, I had to go play myself last night at the drag strip. I have been to 4 tracks this year I can not say.

WIlmot Raceway...track photography.

Knoxville, IA to the home of sprint car racing and the Museasm. 

Plymouth raceway in WI for sprint cars.

Great Lakes dragway lake night in WI to have some fun.

There was like no one there last night. I think there was 7 cars for drag racing, A stang, 70's thunderchicken, a big truck, a grand navigational, a 300z and my 06 subby impreza wagon all stuck and the slowest thing there last night.

My goul was to beat 18's which I did with a very low 17's pass. I did 10 passes last night which is saying something for the amount od people doing passes. I was pretty much having fun and could not get the timing of the lights right at all last night and if i could have i think i could have gotten past 17 even.

We also had a small group of drifters at the track last night and after 20 years I got to ride with someone twice which was a blast for sure. i think there was about 13 drivers for that group which was doing though the runs very fast since they had so few drivers.

It's been a long time, but I've raced at Great Lakes.  Nice place, if I am remembering right.

I wish I could show up to a dragstrip and have only 7 cars there.  That would be incredible

You know after watching videos of different tracks I wish Gainesville had more of a entering the gates of hell vibe to it.  It would make it feel more official that yep the E36 M3 is about to happen.

The biggest new thing is the drift pad that they have working on for the past few years. i think its up to 22,000 feet right now. It bigger then it was with with a entry and exit that is good.
