Jacksonville would be the closest to you I think. 1/8 mile. The only 1/4 mile in the state is in Rockingham ... about a 4 hr. drive for you. I think Darlington, SC would be closer to you for a 1/4 mile.

Jacksonville has a 1/4 mile track, not 1/8 only. Kinston has a 1/4 mile but normally runs 1/8 because of the shut down area. New Bern has a track but Im not sure of length.

I have a friend that's living in Havelock at the moment. I'll try to get ahold of him and ask him if there are any small/decent tracks near you guys.

Coastal Carolina Dragway in Jacksonville runs test and tune and series racing on Wed/Sun (depending on season) and should be the closest to you. Google "dragstrip jacksonville NC" and it should show up. They do 1/4 for cars slower than 8 Sec and 1/8 for everybody else including bikes I think.
