GLD will have the NHRA chassis inspectors on site on opening weekend, March 31st and April 1st. To schedule your appointment, call Teri Blasco at 847-494-9977
Note that in addition to the NHRA fees, there will be a $10 fee per person for each chassis certification.
GLD will ALWAYS be a 1/4 mile track! Ignore any rumors about 1/8 mile!! The only 1/8 mile we do is Pro and Super Pro of our monthly bracket series. We have 5 second, 250+ MPH 1/4 mile passes every year!!
In fact, here is some picture proof:

GLD is closed for the season...
The weather is no longer cooperating, so we have shut down for the winter. Thanks to everyone who helped make this a great run! We had lots of terrible weather all season long, but when the weather was good, attendance was great!
We still hope to have some activities and get-togethers over winter in the Torque Alley Tap, maybe we will do some snowmobile races on our new grass drags course. Please join our official Facebook page at: facebook.com/greatlakesdragaway (accept no imitations!) and sign up for our email newsletter list by clicking here. We will keep you up to date throughout the winter.
We will have a tentative schedule posted in a month or two.
