Finding a Drag Strip around Pittsburgh PA

Hi everyone, I was just wondering if anyone knew of a drag strip around Pittsburgh, PA that is open to the public for racing. I'd like to see what my cl can do and my dad would like to take our 70 vette for a run. Ive tried searching the internet but havent had much luck. I know im always reading from people on here to take it to the track so i figured id see if anyone knows of a track in my area. Thanks.

How about Cranberry Mall lower level, some where in between Panera and the movies @ 12:30.. Either look for my car which is a 2001 Silver CLS or a yellow VW Gulf anniversary edition.
