Ozark International Raceway. Small mom and pop Drag Strip. Not too far from you. 
I get off at the Marshfield exit and usually grab dinner at Darcy's(?). Then drive on down to Rogersville and Drag race my lil' diesel pickem' up. Friday night's, during season, they open the gates at 5:30pm and start the racing at 6:30-7ish. Costs $10 to run whatever you're driving and I think it's $20 for observers. They follow NHRA rules. Under 13.99 1/4 needs a helmet, etc. It's a blast. I've gotten addicted to racing there. Everone laughs when they see me pull up to the line in a diesel with a helmet on, but they aren't laughing when I come back through. Nobody really knows what these diesels can do yet.

Ok ok. I have been to that drag strip a lot when I was younger. I didn't know it was still operating. It is still 1/4 mile then? Would be interesting to go some Friday night. Let me know when it starts up again. I am not sure where the marshfield exit or darcy's are.
They would certainly laugh at my overloaded explorer (read snail) out there. No helmet required I am sure.

No..I didn't know I had a truck stop.
Why don't I just go get the mirror mounts from myself that I have been looking for?

Cool!
Sounds like a blast! I live 2 miles north of the Marshfield exit (exit 100, I-44), so it's not far for me at all. Toughest part will be having friday evenings free..... Oh, and Dancy's is a good restaurant, but not my favorite here. If you get in the area, check out the mexican restaurant here: http://www.rvexpressrvpark.com .
