Back in the 70's... th ePittsburgh Pirates moved from old "Forbes Field" to the brand new "Three Rivers Stadium". This became the home of the Pittsburgh Pirates and the Pittsburgh Steelers for many years.
Did you know they actually had a drag race in the stadium (on the field)?
How about a 300 ft track with a shutdown area that exited throught the centerfield wall and into the parking lot. I heard they laid down pieces of steel to race on. They even used a flag starter. One of Pittsburgh finest won the race..... anyone remember who?

THESE ARE ALL BILL TRUBY PICS.....
