    Right I've a hypothetically question -

    If you were to 1/4 mile drag race what road would you pick to do it on?

    Purely hypothetically.

    Any straight & level stretch would do the job, empty motorway might be safest.

    You'd need there to be no cars though.

    Between junction 17 on the M50 and junction 5 on the M11 could work

    Would look around for closed industrial estates: some would probably have nice straight patches of closed off road.

    Suir bridge on the n25 heading in Rosslare direction. Can even use the toll bridge as the start line:p

    They built drag racing facilities onto most of the motorways years ago!

    "Tollbooths" they called the stations beside the startline, ya have to pay to use them all!

    Blayney straight, just north of Carrickmacross on the N2. Only a few miles from the border if you see blue lights too.

    If you head southbound on the M50, the next junction after the Leopardstown turn off brings you in to the back of the gym in Leopardstown race course.

    It's a pretty empty, straight stretch of road, and last time I went down that road (would have been 2007) it was marked out for 1/4 mile with painted lines on the road.
