Re: Top 10 "can't find" drag strips
The all time winner is the track in Acton Montana. Make a left turn at Billings, drive for about 30 miles until you reach the edge of the earth (which happens to be 5 miles down a gravel road).
Runner UP honors goes to Walla Walla dragstrip, we went to a National Open there a couple of years ago, it's down a side road, we got there in the middle of the night and there wasn't so much as a 25watt light bulb marking the entrance. We were starting to think that we had gone on the wrong weekend. Trucks and trailers were driving aimlessly up and down the road trying to figure out how to get in. The other funny thing about Walla Walla is that if you turn right instead of left at the end of the track, you are on an active runway. Someone did it, we thought it was funny, apparently the FAA didn't. Jim Caughlin SS 6019 |

Thanks for the directions Jim! Lol! Dad and I are planning on going to Acton for the national open and on google earth it did look like it was pretty much at the end of the world. Haha!
John is right about Scribner Neb as well. That place was literally in the middle of the corn field. Rick |

Re: Top 10 "can't find" drag strips
While on vacation in Aruba, it was an adventure finding the dragstrip.
No street signs, goats in the road ,some pretty rough dirt roads. |
