Any local tracks? NY/VT?

Well i went to go to my usual drag strip in canada and now they are more strict on the border and i didnt realize if you have a pending court case your not alloud across, so i got stopped and i had to come back in the US because i had someone arrested for attacking me. pretty pathetic but anyways my father got stopped to we went to race together, he had something happen in TX in 1966 so you know there stricked. im just looking for any local tracks i think there is one in lebanon valley NY and i think one in Milton VT if anyone has any suggestions im looking for a 1/4 mile track. i dont mind traveling an hour maybe an hour and a half.

Only two 1/4 mile tracks in New York are NYIRP in Leciester NY (an hour southwest of Rochester) and Lebanon Valley (15 min. outside Albany).

I run at LVD some. Its an alright track, kind of low budget, but it is a 1/4 mile, so better than nothing!

I live in the Burlington area, i go to canada every weekend to spend time with my fiance who lives in st jean which about 20 minutes from Napierville dragway, might take this car to see what it will do ,but i know its only high 14 sec car. we bought it for a cruiser but it was just so slow had to wake it up a little.

yeah napierville is a low budget track as well, on fridays they dont even like to wet down the burnout box thats why sometimes when i couldnt do a good burn out i got 2.2 60ft's.

onebad84z28-if i get back in canada soon maybe ill see you at the track. my car is white with a ram air hood. you cant miss it, ill have 17x8 torque thrust 2's on it next time i go up

I also go to Lebanon Valley. Its a nice clean track, not bad prep. Its about 700 ft above sea level, so in mid summer with Hudson valley humidlty...not good. But in spring and fall you can have DA at sea level or below if your lucky.

i think napierville is about 100ft above sea level. not sure but its fairly close to level. i went to court on that and they reduced it to disorderly conduct so im going to court in 2 weeks for it, i might plead guilty just to go race. lol
