have you tried 411 drag strip? the track is terrible though, friend took his 240 up there and spun through 3rd so better have some slicks for that track. i think saturdays from 2-5 is test and tune.

How much is it to run a vehicle at the track at the 411 drag strip?
Is there a limit on passes or just as much as someone can get in between 2pm and 5pm?
Is it a 1/8 or 1/4 mile?

Crossville looks to be a 1/4 from driving by on I40, but haven't been on the grounds of the track yet to be sure of it. Don't know what the travel distance and time it is. I haven't seen any info about it on the forum yet, but maybe there could be section that is dedicated to tracks with info on times and prices of them.

I'm in west knox and plan to go to 411 this Sunday. Heard i-40 dragway in crossville is good too. I ran TnT at Knoxville last year and it sucked.
I've only ran the truck at Knoxville Dragway and Brainerd Optimist in Chattanooga. Chattanooga = 9.98 pass, Knoxville = 10.1s and it was colder out - same set up too.
I got DRs now so hopefully some 9.8s this Sunday. 9.3s if I spray it.
I know this is kind of old but all of us who live in the knox area need to get together amd nake a trip to the track... Im up for it any time you all want to get ready...
