I've heard the speedway in Newton has one and Knoxville sounds like a popular place to go. Also what are the fees and gear needed to run? Thanks |

I go to the iowa speedway in newton. Its $20 to make as many passes down the 1/8 mile as you can (i usually average 10 runs or so and i let my car cool down at times too). Unless your car is super fast all you have to do is wear long pants and a shirt with sleeves (even short sleeves work). Only bad thing is traction there sucks. I went to eddyville with my cobalt, its really sticky but a long drive and way less runs. |

Or did you move? I'll have to check it out my buddy is stationed at Offut so I could always stay with him. Have to talk him into getting his 65 fastback out too. |

If you get really hungry to race, you can run with me on the road course.  |

Yeah -4 degrees this morning. My truck never got all of the ice off the windshield this morning on my 20 mile drive. I can't wait for spring and all of this ice to be gone. |

I've been browsing through stang net all winter due to lack of out door activities but in this time I have seen some of the best mustangs I have ever . But also in this same time I have been doing a "Spring Cleaning" project on my Calypso '91, though 90% through with it, I'm not quite there yet. So if interested in watching a restoration of sorts keep posting. |
