He's right. Might be worth a drive. I don't know how far these are from you. I sometimes drive 2 1/2 hours from my house to race even though there are 2 tracks witin a half hour of where I live ( I hope I don't break ). I'm SURE there's more tracks, just whether or not they have websites...

Lebanon Valley Dragway, NY

New England Dragway, NH

The past 11 runs I've made, I've dropped almost 3/4 of a second without changing any parts. I'm just starting to really get to know the car on the track. What knock is and how to prevent it, what tire pressure to use for a good launch, where the sweet spots shifting are... Gone from a 14.19 to a 13.50, but it's time to take that car off the road and go through it again now.

My first 3 runs in the civic were 18.4's before I somehow managed the 17.95. There really is a groove to it.
