Cornhusker Raceway Park
 
Some pics from back in the day at Cornhusker Raceway Park in Omaha Nebraska. Many big names raced at this short lived track. Anybody have any more pics or stories?

Do you have any shots of a white 63 Plymouth aluminum car that had light blue stripes. It was Weldon and Steve Christian’s car, sponsored by Cox Motor Company.

I think it won a divisional race in Omaha about 1966 or 67.

Thanks,
Bill

No pictures of the 1963 Plymouth. Cornhusker opened in fall 1969. Some Cornhusker Drag Record Holders. Still trying to figure out the green Cuda.

Thanks, Bill

This car sounds familiar, let me do some digging...I'm not sure which track this is though.

Where was the track located? I went to school in Omaha in the 80s but didn't realize there was ever a track there.

It was along Hwy.50, just North of Sapp Bros. truck stop about a half mile at Giles Rd. By the 80s it had been replaced by Watkins concrete block plant. I'm still a little bitter that I was born too late to enjoy this place!
Looking through those records, I see some familiar names...Bichlmeier, Wayne Lewis, Eddie Rezac, Vern Moats, etc.
