Travis,I had a friend who talks about going to the indoor drags up at the International Aphitheater in Chicago way back then.He says it didnt last real long because the cars had to make it thru a narrow door way that was the shut down area.After a few pairs of cars either hit ,or almost hit the wall , they shut it down.the length of the track was about a 1/16 of a mile.the fumes had to be pretty bad also.I saw a guy at a swap meet up in Poetone over the winter that had some pictures of the indoor drags for sale.
