Re: 1968 Dart 340 GTS (68' Winternationals)
I didn't go to my first dragrace until '68 at the "tender" age of 15. That was at Puyallup Raceway, which closed in'78. Looking at the schedule in div.6 back then, I'm surprised to see that Arlington hosted 3 of the 6 races that season. I've been to most of the tracks in our division here,, but Arlington was one I never got to see,,,not sure when it closed.
Been going to Bremerton since '73,, even do the announcing out there. Thanks for posting that schedule,, Paul,,, very interesting. Danny Durham |
