So on the 2nd of June I'm looking to do some "organized" drag racing at a decently local track...I checked Silver Dollar and they have nothing scheduled so is my only other option for a 1/4 mile track Commerce? From what I've heard Commerce is always packed and you only get like one run in? Can you show up earlier there and get possibly more than one run in?... And also is there anyway to line up with the car of your choice as well? Thanks guys for your input!!!
I don't have any info for you on that but I would deffinently go! I've been wanting to try myself out on the track before I start modding.
Yeah my parents are coming into town that weekend and my mom wants to throw down at a local track ....she wants to see if my 4-banger can keep up with her GTP
your mom rocks dude! as far as the tracks the closest one is commerce but silver dollar is a better track all around to me. if you get there early like when they open you should be able to get some in but from what I hear it's still iffy . The only way I saw to line up at commerce is to make it seem like a money race and the track man/lady will let you line up so many cars break or leaking that its hard to line up with the person you want at commerce.
I would vote for Silver Dollar because Commerce sucks a lot. I waited 2 hours just for one run. The track is also poorly maintained and I even managed to spin my tires for almost a second there. I don't know if I'll be able to make it though.
silver dollar is the better track, commerce is a bit slippery. i haven't been to commerce for a while, but i used to get there when gates open an leave around 11:30 or so and get about 12-15 runs in, most right when they opened, it gets busier as the night goes on. also i don't know if they still do it, but on fast fridays they do a grudge racing where they have 2 lanes set up for people you want to run each other.
if u line up in the same lane, one behind the other, and u ask then to line u up, they will let u run against each other... they did it for me everytime at commerce
Scotty B...You know that this race is gonna be a blast....We should just go to Silver Dollar Bro... Mark
so Silver Dollar has like test/tune on Friday nights as well?......it's like way south though right?...it might be better to travel further if it's a nicer track...slippery is never fun, kinda sounds dangerous.. oh and yeah my mom rocks!!! she was a real good drag racer in the 70's... my dad was the mechanic.....i used to sleep in the race car, they said that I only would sleep in the race car when they were on the road...:keke:
that's awesome man! i finally told the parents about the track day at little tally, and i thought they would give me some speech about my safety, but my mom wants to go with me the next time! haha!
If you get to commerce at 6:00 when the gates open you can usually hotlap the runs until about 7:00. Last time there I ran 5 times before 7:00. I could have easily run more. Silver Dollar is a pretty long haul.
so the gates don't open till 6PM at Commerce? So is "Commerce"...and "Atlanta Dragway" the same place?
