Dragstrips close to C'ville
Hey y'all, new here.
Is Richmond the closest one? I moved here from Kansas 4 months ago, and don't know the lay, but it looks like that's the case. Let me know, thanks.

Re: Dragstrips close to C'ville
you're kind of in the middle of nowhere in charlottesville...
sumerduck is 1/8th
old dominion is 1/8th
natural bridge is 1/8th
i think the closest 1/4 mile is richmond dragway. should be a little over an hour for you.

Looks like Eastside is pretty ghetto. I haven't seen it yet but the surprising fact that they have a website had me a little interested until I saw the site in its entirety. I might still get out there for a run or two before the season ends. Thinking about driving out that way tomorrow to at least have a little look-see.
What's the rough weight on that Maxima? Looks to me that we might have about the same HP/weight ratio, looking at your charts. Have you broken into the 12s?
