I go to Green valley Speedway for many Dirt Late Model shows each year and was shown where the drag strip used to be, the startling line is still there but I wondered where the shutoff ended.

Still to this day, nothing better than Lions, chili tamales and chili dogs, Bernie Mather calling the races, Larry Sutton as the starter or Danny Larus. Pappy buzzin' around on that little motorcycle, just great times. Oh how I wish I could go to that track again, the famous 223rd & Alameda strip that wrote the book.

Caddo mills drag strip in Caddo Tx. Before it closed in the 70's it was the second oldest/active drag strip in the Nation. Opened in 1951.

Suffolk and Bowling Green for me. Suffolk (1970) was the first NHRA points race I ever attended.
