1/8 mile Paridise Dragstrip in Calhoun, Georgia. Opened in 1961, IHRA sanctioned at one time. Here's their site: http://www.paradisedragstrip.net/



Their christamas tree wasn't up, so I guess technically it's just a picture of my bike, but I got to make a a 90 mile ride on a gorgeous November afternoon, I count that as a win.
Nice I don't see the "christmass tree" but nice however.

... all I've done for the past MONTH of weekends has been manning "stuff the trailer" events and a huge benefit party for "Gifts That Foster Hope", which is a similar focus. It was a joint effort between the Apparitions MC (my club), Green County human services (who runs the foster kids program), and our local ABATE chapter. HUGE success so far. Next time I am working on it again is Saturday, if they meed me.

He did state that the tree was down but I think the fact that he was able to park amongst the ***** of burnt rubber is a huge plus.
