Old tracks

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.

And then there was Windgap, Nazareth dirt, Hatfield, Reading dirt, Harmony dirt, Lancaster....all in Eastern Pa or NJ. Yes I go back that far.

I have some from Riverside, I will post them shortly. I could not get them to load today. I saw a 1967 Raven Rock class winner decal an a 55 Chevy at a car show in Huntington last month. NICE!!!

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.

Old Bridge Speedway,NJ, Montgomery,NY, Vargo,PA, Strato Rods, NJ, Pocono Drag Lodge,PA, Flemington,NJ.....and my favorite York,PA ......I was not at everyone myself but did get to most of them. In the era of flat towing.....most of these places were long rides. Today it would be easy.....
