I was wondering if anyone out there remembers racing at Utica Rome Dragstrip. It was an 1/8 mile track that also had a paved oval where drag racers would pit on saturday night... on sunday they had modifieds race there. The track was located in Vernon NY. Thats upstate NY about 30 miles East of Syracuse. The track used to have some big SS/Stk races there in the 60's and 70's as well as booked in funny car shows (Phil Castronova, Don Schumacher, Al Graber, Jungle Jim with Clare Sanders behind the wheel etc.
Just posting this to see if anyone remembers the track.
