Old tracks
 
When I was stationed at Ft. Campbell Ky in 1964 I went to a track near there a few times.Anybody know the track and if it's still in use today?

Sounds like it could be the one.It's been a long time.Seems like in another lifetime.I'd sure like to travel down that way sometime.

While we're talking old tracks, Ed (not trying to hi-jack your thread).....Does anyone here remember old tracks at: 1. Charlestown, Rhode Island. 2. Orange, Massachusetts. 3. Sanford, Maine. These were all part of the New England Timing Association. (I believe.) Anyone?? Best wishes. WJ

Any photos from Raven Rock or Riverside dragstrips? Both were in Southern Ohio.

Here's a link to some pics from last Saturday's Pocono Drag Lodge reunion. There's talk of maybe running one or two eighth mile shows there a year, there were over a thousand people during the course of the day, Paul.

Clarksville rings a bell. Brian Buschor, who used to work for IHRA, was stationed in Fort Campbell a few years ago. He and a few buddies used to take their street cars out there to bracket race.
