Back a few years ago when I was in the SRT4 scene, Dragway 42 was the place to go if you wanted to get more than 2 runs a night. Norwalk or Summit was always having BS events coupled with their test and tune night so you might get 2 passes if you were lucky. Pretty frustrating when you drive out there, fuel up with race gas, etc and only get maybe 2 runs.

We went for one test and tune and they had Harley night...I love bikes but old ass Harleys that leak oil all down the track after almost every run for the riders to see 14s in the 1/4 mile was my breaking point

Yea that's why you have to look at the event schedule for fridays. Wednesday's are just the street 7 dollar fun night, most are drove there so are pretty solid and don't break a lot, maybe one to two a night. And usually at the line with a tranny or axle or diff.

Norwalk is all paved as well. No gravel, dirt, and grass.

Had no idea 42 was repaived. Anything will be better then it was. I wouldn't be against trying it again if it's nicer.

**** that place. 2 years ago I nearly lost control of my car because I hit a massive pot hole doing 110-ish right after the traps. And the gravel access road is just inexcusable.

I went to D42 on saturday and it was horrible.... It is faster than quaker, il give them that.

I ran between 11.1 and 11.5 trapping 129 with my best 60ft being a 1.8? and worst a 2.0. There was literally zero prep.

Sad part is at this point idk where to go, Norwalk or Pittsburgh raceway they are both 2 hours away. Norwalk is a few minutes further away from me but everyone I know with a trailer lives closer to PRP so I guess I have to head there. It isnt very nice either though....

I am heading to PRP next thursday and will try to go to norwalk some wednesday night. I dont get home from work until 530 though so I would have to work from home that day and then I could get there right around 5:30, maybe in another 2 weeks or so I can make it.

I went to 42 last friday and I got like 7 runs in and that was with showing up late and taking a couple breaks to BS. I can't say much about the track or prep because it was my first time racing. And there is still a gravel/dirt driveway its not to bad though. might be rough on a slammed car like Brent's but mine is lowered on springs and was fine.

You can get alot of passes in for sure. Maybe the prep is better on a friday, but saturdays its not worth going at all.

Well make sure you post when your going and I will try and make it. You can get there before the gates open and there are a couple little spots to sit so you can get right in so no chances of being late.
