This may sound a little silly but racing at Numidia, Pennsylvania is at the top of my bucket list, it's 2632 mile tow, (one way). Think I'll wait for the snow to melt.

Tom, I have not been out to the local track for the last few years. I used to be out there for every race until the new owner took over and chose to not do payouts. They do have trophy's and you mostly race for points and a spot on the bracket finals team. The drivers get together and put up a pool of money for those interested.
Wow! Sounds like a gem of a track owner right there! Wow!

I guess the NC tracks Thunder Valley (Red Springs) and 710 (Rowland) at 16.4 miles are the closest.

BG7X77, it used to be Darlington and Florence-Darlington in your area at 9 miles.

Bob no snow right now come on over. Well I can’t vouch for that part of the state.

I am four minutes from Atco Raceway. Or what was Atco Raceway! Going to be another insurance company parking lot unless there's a loophole to prevent it. Len Capone (owner) is an ******* that doesn't know a god dam thing about his customers.
So I got Cecil County and Maple Grove fairly close. I've never been to Island so maybe someday.
Or buy a boat and tow it with my cut up shytbox.

Wasn't the question what tracks were closest together, not closest to your house?

Eman, yes it was. I was mostly wondering how close together tracks could be and still survive.

Darlington and "Little" Darlington were the closest I have ever known about. They were from the time that national event tracks only ran once or twice a year and the small tracks ran almost every weekend.

Well in Oregon, Medford is the one closest in travel time to all of the other tracks in the state. At best it's a minimum of 3 Hours travel time from there to any of the other tracks.

Iowa... Cedar Falls Motorsports Park has a double $50K SFG race and a Triple $7000 Triple 7 Bracket Jackpot Series as well as their weekly is $1500. 81 miles to Tri-State Raceway in Earlville IA, Super nice facility but only one weekend of 3-$7000 Triple 7 Bracket Jackpot Series races; then Eddyville Raceway Park, about 99 miles is a beautiful, detailed facility with at least one of the Triple 7 Bracket Jackpot Series races and a line up of wild spectator events.
For a lightly populated state, we can reach a lot of affordable bigger money races. The Triple 777 Series is only $83.00 per day!!!! Where else do you race for $7000 to win for $83.00???????
Right now, get the snow-mobiles filled with 110 and light them up!!;_)\\

I have heard A LOT of stories about Little Darlington. Being a damn yankee who decided to stay I didnt have the pleasure. I hear it was a lot of fun. I sure am glad BIG Darlington is still around, what an incredible racing surface that place has now and ran by a great group of people.

Pageland - Darlington 39 miles. All in the same day, made my qualifying runs in Stock for an IHRA Pro-Am at Darlington, went to Pageland and won the points race, and was back to Darlington by the time they were in 3rd rnd of the Combo race.
Thank you sir.
