      @user-rr5ce1wb2j 6 місяців тому +1

      As RacersUnited said, 1000 feet. It used to be a quarter mile but they reduced it for safety after some bad accidents - not enough room to stop safely if they go the full quarter. They used to run mid 4's in the quarter, pretty damn quick.

      Depends on the day and the track. Just got back from Maple Grove and Saturday and Sunday were PACKED. Rain delayed the semi finals and the finals until Monday morning so when you watch those on UA-cam, you see no one in the stands because no one planned on being there Monday.
