Orlando Speedworld is about a 20 minute drive for me, unfortunately its considered the worse 1/4 mile track in Florida. The next two closest 1/4 mile tracks are Bradenton and Gainseville which are prob around 1.5-2 hrs away. Moroso is prob about 2 1/2 hrs from me as well.

Milan Dragway is about 45 minutes from my house. It usually takes a couple of hours to get home though. Waiting for the tow truck usually takes awhile. 
Need a better trans than this POS T5! Can't beat on it at all.

I am ~45 minutes away from Norwalk Raceway Park (now Summit Racing Equipment Motorsports Park, a mouthful), ~45 minutes from a crappy little track called Marion County International Raceway, and ~1.25 hours away from Dragway 42.
What days that i'm off determines where I go. Dragway 42 on Tues, Norwalk on Wed, and MCIR on Fri. Sometimes all three if I work in the morning
Haven't been to MCIR for a while though, they stopped having a trophy class for street cars halfway through last season.

www.evadaleraceway.com is about 80 miles or so from us. It is the nearest drag strip. I get invites all the time to come out and street race. It's just not my thing. I have way to much invested in it to get it taken away for 10 minutes of fame and fortune. Not to mention all the useless cop attention I would have afterwords. Most of the times that I get invited out to run on the street, I know it's against cars that I would just kill. But like I said, it is just to much sugar for a dime. I'm not giving away my hard earned money. You wanna race me, show up at the drag strip.

If you look around, you can find built T5's, a rebuilt kit for a tougher T5, or maybe a TKOxxx laying around somewhere.
