A Quick Update

Just a quick update to let everyone know I am still trying to locate authentic artifacts from this old drag park. One thing I'm having a hard time with is collecting verifiable proof of the big names that used to race there. Alot of old racers have said guys like Ronnie Sox, Don Nicholson, Gene Snow...

There were alot of issues that arose with the track in later years Allie. A local gent sunk basically his whole life savings into the track to upgrade it and turn it into a state of the art facility only to have the state come in and shut it down for "PCB Contamination." He tried to fight ...

I'm looking for pics of Don Schumacher's 1969 and 1969 Stardust Barracuda funnycar for reference. I'm also looking for pics of funnycars from the 60's and 70's as well.

Personally I think it's a bunch of b.s. because a mobile home park wanted to expand and they have built right up to the guidewire fence. S...

I have found very little information about this strip either online or anywhere else for that matter. This drag strip was a very popular place in the 50's through the late 70's and even int...
