Pits At Drag Strips

Jon Sarrett · 04-09-2018, 03:32 PM

There is no better pit area than Summit Motorsports Park in Norwalk, OH. It is paved and has electrical outlets in every spot. Now this isn't on both sides of the track, just the east side. If you are early enough for the divisional meet you can get a slice of blacktop. Obviously at the nationals us scrubs are kicked to the grass on the west side. I would like you to know that I'm biased because this is my home track.

What tracks have electric hookups besides Summit?

SGMPhas some elect hookups. I think they charge about $100 for the weekend.

You would think that Baytown could pave the pits with the money they got from insurance companies for storing all those flood cars

Topeka has electric hookups, but very high $$$ for a weekends use.

Back in the day, Englishtown was the best, by far. For all the right reasons.

I agree with Frank, Englishtown all the way. I especially loved the little beach. How cool is a track with a little beach? E-town Rules

The choice of grass or pavement and showers.

Norwalk by far.

I have not been to many of the tracks mentioned but I have been to Norwalk which in my experience is in a league of its own.

This year on Hot Rod's Drag Week I will get to go to Atlanta, Darlington Charlotte and Bristol. However with less than 400 cars we will be on the asphalt, if there is any.

I think Brandimere would normally be a nice track but it sucks for a class racer during the national event there.
