I would sure like to thank ALL of you for this thread...
Aquasco Speedway hooked me on drag racing. I grew up living in Aquasco, we lived there from 1966-1975. We moved back to Lakeland Florida in late 1975 at 15 years old. I used to ride my bike up to MD 381 to watch all the cars going to the track on Sunday, and could hear it all from my house on St Phillips Church Rd. I dreamt of driving and owning something like Malcum Durams "Strip Blazer", or Gungle Jims Nova funny car.

The radio commercials were just as you described them, SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY...
I never got to go to track much, but watched alot of you guys driving by and as you sat in line on the road backed up waiting to get there. I sat at Grimes General Store many a day drueling as you went by.

Thanks
Keith
