Sprawling multipurpose Heartland Park Topeka has been a Midwest favorite since it opened in 1989, but its dragstrip has gained the majority of headlines. The event, originally in the fall, has featured numerous record performances, the most significant of which was the shattering of the quarter-mile four-second and 300-mph barriers in Funny Car in 1993. The event moved to its current spot on the schedule in 2001.
How to Get There: The track is on Topeka Boulevard where it intersects Gary Ormsby Drive, four miles south of Interstate 470. From Kansas City, take the Kansas Turnpike (I-70) to the South Topeka exit and travel south on Topeka Boulevard to the track. From Wichita, take the Kansas Turnpike (I-335) to the South Topeka exit and travel south on Topeka Boulevard to the track. From I-470, take the Topeka Boulevard exit and travel south to the track.

Ilove going to the national events, want to go to the one in mn but $$ is the problem..

i love the feeling you get when they are running down the strip and your sitting in the stands, always a blast walking around the pits and and seeing them tear it down and put it back together in such a short amount of time,

YUP Justin I agree 100%. Its a little pricey. But well worth it. My wife & I went up to Brainerd.Mn For the national's up there. I was with in 2 feet of John Force. Actually got to shake his hand. If you haven't been to a nat'l event. You owe to yourself to go at least once. I've been doing this since 1968 and maybe a tad before that. You can't believe the feeling and sounds that make up Drag Racing till you've gone there. Go once & you'll go back
