Re: drag strip near orange beach alabama
You'll be about an hour-and-a-half south of Atmore, Al, which has a 1/8 mile NHRA track. There's also an really nice IHRA facility in Gulfport, MS, but that's a two-hour drive via I-10. If you're driving back north you could also visit South Georgia Motorsports Park in Adel just a 300 mile run up I-10 and I-75!
Have a great vacation!

I wish I knew more about the facility, Ron. I made a few trips between Birmingham, Pensacola and and Camp Shelby, MS a few years ago. Visited a few of the tracks when I passed through, but didn't have much of a chance to spend any "quality" time there. Maybe someone from the area will help out.

I haven't been to Atmore in many years but it was a nice facility and the folks were pretty friendly. As I remember shade was at a premium.

Re: drag strip near orange beach alabama
Probably a little late but Mobile Dragway is probably the closer than any others. IT just east of Mobile on US Hwy. 90. Shares property with the 1/2 Asphalt oval also.
