Good Drag Strips in MI?

I have been to Milan a few times and am less and less impressed each time. What other tracks are there that are decent for someone who lives in the metro-Detroit area? A bit of a drive is okay for a good track.

Re: Good Drag Strips in MI?

there arent any that are close, but the other two that I really like are Martin US131 (dragway?) or ofcourse midmichigan motorplex. both are like a 3 hour drive though if i remember right. midmichigan might be a little closer, but its not really close enough to go to test n tune . it'd be a whole day affair.

Stanton (Mid-Michigan Motorplex) is my favorite, but I haven't been to 131 yet.

Lapeer sucks, don't even bother. I agree about Milan -- it's worlds better than Lapeer, but still nothing special.

Ubly is not bad if you just want a test and tune day. Some Saturdays there's so few cars you can hot lap if you want to.
