Sadly most of my drag strip time was just watching, which i enjoy so it was ok :) Only decent strip around is Milan.. best hot dogs ever.. I'm not sure if all strips are the same but the sun just punishes you at that strip. it's like it has a vendetta..
Maple Grove in the evening can be pretty nice. High up and surrounded by greenery. But usually in the day its almost as bad as playing in a parking lot.
