Re: Lost Drag Strips
I took a lot of the home movies, Tom Taylor took the others. None of them are posted on youtube.
The first Home Movies of Peterson I took were at a Tom Reese vs Tom Raley T/F match race sometime in 1966. Bob Kaiser, the future world champ, was there with a wedge 63 Plymouth sponsored by Williamsport Auto Sales. I'll try to reload the pics. Last edited by Steve1118; 10-31-2012 at 01:46 PM. |

Re: Lost Drag Strips
A friend sent me some photos at Dallas International that his dad and a partner ran their Fairlane back in the early 1970s.

Re: Lost Drag Strips
Pit Pass from Tri-City. Did the Div 3 points meet in the mid 70's. If I remember right, wasn't that place located next to an Airport? I recall some drag strip in Michigan, we got woke up by a jet preparing to take off at about 5 in the morning! Probably didn't help that we sat up till about 1 or 2 in the morning drinking and bs'ing with some other guys in line. One thing I do recall, it was a long drive up AND back from central Indiana.
