[TopspeedLowet]

Home track is Stanton/ Mid michigan Motorplex is 64 miles or 1 hout 15 min from Midland MI and a smooth ride.
Ubly in the thumb is 94 Miles and 1 hout 45 min real bad roads to it from Midland. You need to pull the chute at 1/2 track to avoid the cat tails on the big end.

oh yeah 10/15 minutes from the house..

Wareshoals used to be the STARLIGHT years ago..and it was 1/4 mile that slanted downhill on the big end... :shock:

John Allen (Zipper) ran there back then....the track has a lot of History

[kw89425]

it looked like a cool ole track passing at 70. seems like i saw something through there that said starlight some where. could have been a motel in another state even everything is a blur after a couple of days..lol

[bjuice]

it might say that on the old broken down motel that sits on the highway beside the track..its almost haunting..you can still hear those straight axel Gassers from back from the 60's if you listen close ...gives me goose bumps

bjuice just curious
How can you get to mooresville quicker than z-max from easley?
:?:

well to be honest i didn't mapquest the addresses and one could be 30 minutes close then the Other..i based this off the time it takes me to get to Shadyside...also i moved from Easely to Greenville County 18 months ago..which is about 30 minutes or so closer to z-max.


where do you live ?

Well you have me Curious on what was the exact Miles..i went in a mapquest each track address to my home address and there was a 15 minute difference in the tracks..Moorsville being the furtherest one... :roll:

then again this is MAPQUEST ...who actually gets there when mapquest says you do ?

i also just updated my forum profile..thanks for pointing that out..changed it on the classifieds when i moved but not over here on the forum.

[482]

bjuice I was just thinking that if you were coming up 85 it is not that much farther on up to concord from the 77 intersection.
I wondered if you had found a shorter route through the woods to mooresville or something is all. 8)
I live just north of mooresville but I used to go to the winn-dixie warehouse (or was it piggly-wiggly) I can't remember now but anyway it was in easley. :)

[purple5568]

Eddyville 1/8 =100 miles
Earlville 1/4 =185
Cordova 1/4 =190
Byron 1/4 = 285
Union Grove 1/4 =390

We race IMSM series at Byron, Union Grove and Cordova. We live in Iowa but there are no series in the area who run a pro lite so we travel to ILL to race. Someday Iowa will wake up an race a real series I hope.
