Drag Racing

If you're like me and like to watch cars of all types thunder down the 1/4 mile you're in luck. While I lived on Kauai I happened upon this drag strip on Kauai's west side. At the time it wasn't much of a track and the people there were just doing practice runs but it was thrilling all the same. The track has now turned into a full fledged 1/4 get'emup and changed it's name to Kauai Raceway Park.

Kauai Raceway Park. If you head west on Kaumualii Hwy drive about 35 miles to Kekaha. Actually the drag strip is in a town called Mana. On the ocean side you'll see a dirt road lined with pine trees. This will take you to Kauai Raceway Park. A link to this drag strip is: http://www.islandracer.com/kauai.htm

Maui Raceway Park is located 2 miles north on Rt. 311 (Mokulele Highway). I've never been there but I have looked at the website and it's full of useful information. http://www.mrp.org/

There is a drag strip on Oahu but I believe it's been closed for whatever reason I don't know. I've researched but can't come up with any 1/4 mile strips on the Big Island. I'm sure that if drag racing is in your blood you can get whatever information you need from the locals on the island.
