Drag race trip --Possible locations ?

You could always follow the routes that Drag Week takes. They change it every year but there are several tracks in Northern Illinois and Wisconsin you could hit.
Home - Byron Dragway
Great Lakes Dragaway | 1/4 Mile IHRA Drag Strip
NHRA 101 - Route 66 Raceway

believe Joliet has been closed for some time now.
Correct about the other two, then could hit US41 and US 131
I don’t know anything about Great Lakes Dragway, other than several people got shot and killed there a few years back. Good buddy was racing there that night, hasn’t raced since then.
Might be fine now, I just have no personal experience
