The local dragstrip was destroyed by vandals long before I was born. The closest one (8 hour round trip) was shut down due to not being able to afford the insurance after the prices were jacked up.
The closest is now a 14 hour round trip and is expensive enough to race on that you have to be rich it seems to be allowed to race.
Sad really.....
As for local laws, if caught it's $100 plus $25 a foot of black marks left on the street.
