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.
