Thanks, Bill

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

A few more old pics from Cornhusker drag ways...track only lasted 4 or 5 years.

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 By the 80s it had been replaced by Watkins concrete block plant.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.

The car in front of the wagon looks like the AMC Gremlin called the PIZZA MAN, it was powered by a beefed up straight six

here is a photo of the car in the 1980s very sad way for a drag car with lots of history to end up
