>>NC has plenty of them.

Does it? Still?

NE Florida used to have lots of drag strips, but now they are all gone except one. Noise complaints took them all down. The remaining one is so crowded that you might get to make 2 passes in a day. But now we need them more than ever since even 4 door sedans have 250+ HP and ride so well that even an idiot feels safe doing 100+ mph.

As a kid I “Took it to the track” and immediately got cock-blocked by my lack of about $25,000 in “Regulation” modifications to my car that were required to play.

So I went back to the rural backroads of New England.

These tracks do exist, sure but they aren’t the same at all.

It’s like saying that you really, really want to do a Hogan’s Alley but your friends say “Just go to the range”. It’s not the same and the range has an RSO eyeballing you constantly and then tapping on your shoulder every minute to offer his opinion.

Feh. Sanctioning takes it too far.
