I have a lot of family in the area...the Daphne/Spanish Fort is a nice place to live and its just across the causeway from Mobile and its about 45 minutes to an hour north of Gulf Shores.When it comes to the car/racing scene I don't know much about Mobile but Pensacola has a pretty good or at least it was good 2 years ago before I moved out of the area. Mobile used to have a drag strip but I'm not sure how long it was....no more than 1/8 mile. The next next closest track that I know of is Emerald Coast Dragway in Holt, FL. Hope this helps and good luck it's a nice area!
