: Looking for strip

Hubby and I are moving to Alabama and I'm looking for a 1/4 mile drag strip close to the Anniston/Oxford area, where I can play around with the street legal drags on a friday or saturday night preferably. Anyone know of one? NHRA, AHRA or outlaw.
Thanks,
Mama Mayhem

Mama,
Welcome to Reg. 7 and the sunny south. There is a good drag strip in Huntsville, may be a stretch at about 80-90 mi. Believe it's NHRA . Should be some other wildcat strips down there. Again, welcome.

I've heard that there is one in Steele, just south of Gadsden on I-59. Know anything about it? I'm trying to find one as close to Anniston as possible just for having fun, not serious racing. I was lucky in Portland, it was only two miles to PIR.

Welcome to Region 7 Mama Mayhem.

The closest to me is cottonwood, but that is probably 200 to 250 miles from your area. You may want to do a search on the net or ask around at some of the local speed shops etc. when you get a chance.

Ok guys, thanks. It looks like Steele is the closest at 55 miles from Anniston, unless there is one in west Georgia. Otherwise I'll get in touch with Steele and find out they're schedule, for next season. My camino is still in Portland with our other stuff. We hope to haul it all down here by next month.
