Great place! Back in the day, they had a big dial instead of a tree, when both cars staged the dial woud start at zero and sweep around back to zero. If you left before it got back to or past zero, it was a red light. So it basically showed your reaction time. Never seen it anywhere else.

Holy smokes! Sit in the front row to watch you`re 10` away from the cars! Awesome!

Brewer's Drag Strip
Sharpsburg, NC
Outlaw,unsanctioned 1/8 mile track.
Starting line covered by a large carport like structure. Track runs downhill and very obvious. My car would run close to a tenth faster due to downhill compared to other tracks in the area.

Found this track as I was driving to Mount St. Helens in Toutle, Wa. 4 years ago. 1/8 outlaw track.

There was about 10 or 12 of us there that day. No return road. 2 or 3 pair go down the track, turn around and wait off to the right side until the starter waves a white flag. Then drive back to the starting line/ pit area. What a hoot.

Yes and when something bad happens you have a front row seat and because of the cars and people who they let run there it is often.

HA HA HA, I live about 7 miles from that place. Unless you lived here, can't imagine why anyone would come here. I remember a phone conversation with Alex Dysenko (rip old friend), said he and some guys went there for some kind of match race. Said it was one of the worst tracks he ever raced on. Can't disagree.

It is off a major state highway, somewhat. Yeah middle of nowhere, apt description. We go there (been a couple years) to test and find the bugs in new cars.

Union Hill in Tn. the first few times, just not an easy way to get there.

Re: Top 10 "can't find" drag strips
 

I nominate North Star Dragway in Denton TX for easiest to see from the highway but hardest to get to!

I vote Aruba too. All I knew is was the other end of the island. I couldn't have found it if I hadn't stopped on the side of the road to read a map and had a race car on a trailer pass me. I followed him in what seemed like a ten mile full circle and about the time I figured he was just cruising around and not headed there he turned into the track.

Santa Pod was tough, maybe for big races they have signs but not early spring test and tunes.

Redding is way out back of the airport, signs aren't real obvious.
