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.
