We do not like it either but here in Sweden there is not an option to go to a local track every other night because there are no tracks.

There is one 120 miles away that You can use for test and tune over 1/8 mile but that is only 5 times during the summer (June - August)

All others are for class racing only and the closest one of these is located in the southern part of Sweden so it's a 500 mile drive to get there just to watch some Dragracing 2 times a year.

There is also one strip at an airfield in the northern part of Sweden,the distance to get there for us in the middle is 1350 miles and they have races 2 times a year,one for streetcars and one for the real racers (Stock - topfuel)

Sometimes a club can get a license to use a closed of street for one day but it takes quite a bit of work to get it and some money too,but these events are very popular and many of those racing illegal usually show up,but in my area there is one race per Year and they have a breakout rule so most racers have to use the brakes over the finish-line so they don't go to fast and get thrown out of the race. "brake-racing" is not that fun...
