Man u guys are lucky! Support your local tracks cause someday they may not be there. It's 2hrs 15mins one way for me locally and 4-5 hrs usually several times during the winter. We do the 2hr drive all in the same day. Drive there race all day and then drive back. Every weekend! I can't remember the last time we didn't go on the weekend.

I live in Denmark, which is a very small country, so I don't have that far to the tracks.
Next year I'll be racing at GRCC (where the Nordics were held) - that will be 2-3 minutes of driving (Yes, minutes).
My regular racetrack for the past couple of years, has been SMRC, which is about 40 minutes away. For the winter, I'll be racing 1:10 TC in BRC, and that track is about 15 minutes away.

I drive about 45 min each way to race indoor nitro during the winter, not to bad everything around chicago takes an hour to get to.

1st is PRCP in Pingree, ND. 1 hour 45 mins.
2nd is Wheels Wings and Hobbies in Mandan, ND. 3 hours drive
This winter I'll be driving 4 hours each way to Staples, MN to drive indoor nitro for a 3 race series.
I don't mind getting away. I just have plan a little more in advance and spend a bit more on gas. It's always worth the drive if I can go race.

My buddy and I drive 60 or 100 miles each way to race at least once a month depending where we race. There is a local track that we sometimes practice on that is about 10 minutes away. It is a small track that is not well maintained.
