Island Dragway
 

Haven't seen this on here yet but noticed on the D1 site there was a mention that Katie Kowalick passed away yesterday. She and her husband built Island a long time ago and ran some pretty good races there. I'll always remember her as the one who handed out the checks after a day of racing. Strange the things we remember.

She was always a very nice lady -- even when we as racers weren't so nice - spent many a Saturday night there and always felt welcomed by her -- she'll be missed ................RIP Kate
