Most definitely Lions. Went there as a kid many weekends with dad to watch sportsman racing. Was always my dream to one day run there.....then it closed.

I go to Green valley Speedway for many Dirt Late Model shows each year and was shown where the drag strip used to be, the startling line is still there but I wondered where the shutoff ended.

Still to this day, nothing better than Lions, chili tamales and chili dogs, Bernie Mather calling the races, Larry Sutton as the starter or Danny Larus. Pappy buzzin' around on that little motorcycle, just great times. Oh how I wish I could go to that track again, the famous 223rd & Alameda strip that wrote the book.
