I remember going there via my big brother during the 67' thru 70' period. I remember also when the second strip was built. Later became the staging lanes. Later, the oval track was built then the Sportatorium. I remember great class racing before the bracket days. Car like The Colonial Banshee, Hemi Inc., etc... It was the best times of my young life. Thanks for the chance to share.

I be leave this was 1974 or 75 I was the starter on the east drag strip. It didn't last long because the west drag strip was short and people were not making the turn and crashing through the guard rail. I be leave the first car to not make the turn was a 1969 road runner and ended up flipping side to side at over 100 mph. I left there in 1975 and don't remember how long they ran that west track.
