I was actually wondering how many folks actually drag race quads. It is very popular in our area and I was wondering if there were other places we could travel to to drag race.

We are all member's of the ATVDRA ( http://atvdra.winkys.com ) and that is seeming to help us get some recognition and big money races (Mega bucks events). If anyone knows of other places to drag race let me know, we have about 20 bikes here locally that will travel to races.

Thanks

Hey DirtDragRacer, you may already know about it but just incase you don't..NEA Raceway located in Marked Tree Arkansas right off of Hwy 63 is supposed to have sand drags starting next year. Doug laid out the strip this passed season and we had lots of fun dragging just for the fun of it. There werent any real races just guys playing around. He's supposed to have every thing up and going next year as far as I know. As far as big money races is concerned you'll have to talk to him. I do know that he gave good money and every thing for the MX and Mud racing this passed season, and said that the MX series points winner next year will get a new S10 truck!! The phone # to the track is (870) 358-RACE. Let me know if you cant get ahold of him because he's not at the track as offten as he was during the season. Hope to see you there!!

 

nope I hadn't heard they were doing drag racing over there. We race down at spring hill track (http://www.springhilltrack.com) I'll try and get in touch with the guy.

 

Check out asro.com and check out the links. You can find the West Tennessee Sand Drags which is near Dyersberg.

 

Yeah we've run there. Don't particular like their setup. It's real "homer" friendly if you know what I mean.

 

DirtDragRacer,

I appreciate the feedback. I haven't ever been there, but some friends of mine have and they had the same comment. I think they said "things are not quite on the up and up." I would be very leary of ever racing there.

There are 300 ft sand drags in Bonne Terre Mo (Big River Sand Drags) and it is bracket racing (all on time). J & J Motorsports in Poplar Bluff, MO, put on a dirt drag in Poplar Bluff a couple times a year. However, this track is very short, and the races do not last long at all. I think to run all 13 classes only took 2 hours.

I would appreciate any information about the drags in Marked Tree. I think it would be a 2 1/2 hour drive for me, but my friends and I might would make the trip if you thought it were worth our time.

you might want to check out Spring Hill Track they are a track that is about 30 miles southeast of Memphis, TN. and they run 300ft drag races. They run bracket classes and heads up classes. They are going to run another Mega Bucks Event the first part of 2002.

You should really check out this link about the one they had this year (2001)
