Dover Drag Strip - Wingdale, NY . So I could run the likes of Lee Valentine and Allan Peters again. Lost to both in final rounds of Stock Eliminator in the mid -seventies before track closed for good. Remember "Wild Willie" Borsch and the "Winged Express" running there and laying down 2 solid black patches of rubber the length of the entire 1/4 mile !!
Connecticut Dragway - lots of fond memories there. Spun my '69 Camaro stocker in the traps, tripped the timers on 2 wheels going sideways.
NY National Speedway - to have the chance to see my good friend , Fred Rice defeat Richie Zul with his '71 Pinto stocker again while bracket racing there in the '70s. He was not happy and came over to us to let it be known.
West Hampton - had a ball there. Fun place to race. Stayed at my wife's uncle's house nearby when we drove the 3 plus hrs. from Dutchess County.
