Re: Top 10 "can't find" drag strips
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. |

Re: Top 10 "can't find" drag strips

Re: Top 10 "can't find" drag strips
Sanair....lost in dairy cow country....stopped to ask for directions....nobody speaks
English.....we don't speak French... One Guy who looks like Alfred E. Newman keeps saying exeeet,exeeet.....sen de sen... ?add Heavy French accent.... HUH? Get back on highway.....see race car transporter on overpass....jam on brakes and exit....chase him....He stops...he's lost too......! Look up on pole where we stopped....sign says Sanair....with an arrow.....found it....Yea ! That was 1970.. Maple Grove after dark coming in from the opposite direction off Bowmansville Rd a couple years ago.....that was not fun either.... A farmer was riding a tractor and his headlights lit the road sign that I recognized.....Whew...... Island Dragway entry road is almost unrecognizable by people not familiar with it....They used to put a temporary sign out on Rt 46 on racedays....

Re: Top 10 "can't find" drag strips
I'll add Sumerduck Dragway in Va. Hooked great, pretty decent pit area, but a one lane road thru what most would think a national forest, and bang , it pops out. Shutdown area there will work your brakes out !! I enjoyed racing there all 3 times, regardless.

Re: Top 10 "can't find" drag strips Boondocks Dragway
Late 70's or early 80's somewhere in the Peoria, IL area. AHRA points race was scheduled for Boondocks Dragway. When we got there AHRA tech director Vance Brady was standing by a muddy road that went through a field. The previous night's rain had made it impassable, so the race was canceled. Never got to see the track, not visible from the highway.
