Anyone been? It’s just over 2hrs away from Buffalo outside of Syracuse. [map]Esta Safety Park Dragstrip, Eastwood Road, Cicero, NY[/map] [http://estadrags.com](http://estadrags.com) It looks like Lucky’s except with better track conditions. Video from 2013: ---

I assume this is the track STM was going to at the end of the season last year unless they have multiple 1/4 tracks in Syracuse ---

I have been there. It’s a nice track. My car has never been there though. It’s an NHRA sanctioned track (Empire is IHRA). Rules are pretty strict there, and the tech is pretty legit. ---

Cool. It looks like it could be a decent spot for a meet. ---

Just as a suggestion, I would def. get an NHRA rule book before you organize a meet. I would be some people will show up hoping to slide through tech and that just will not happen at an NHRA track. ---

Do you need an NHRA rule book to just do burnouts? 🙂 ---

The problem with NHRA is you need a membership… it’s like $250 or something like that… and also a NHRA cage cert. all this stuff probably won’t matter to the guys running slower than 10.50 but can be a pita for some of the faster guys. My car would be fine at any IHRA track, but I couldn’t run mine there unless I spend some cash. ---

It’s our local Syracuse track. It does have the nickname “The Swamp” as it floods pretty easy when it rains. If they do schedule a TNT, it will be on a Saturday which will cost you about 35.00 to get in and race. No night racing of any kind. They did lay new concrete last year and I hear it’s been decent. Track prep isn’t the best but I do have my best 60ft there compared to Empire. It is what it is. ---
