You bet I have, got down to 4 cars in a $5000 race and got put out by Ike Hamma in his Daytona...he put a .007 package on me. Was there several times to see hemi cars match race the Mustangs.

Ron, the name of Hazelhurst was "Little Dixie Drag Strip" and the track NW of Jackson on Route 49 was "Jackson Sports Arena".

Ed, I've raced at Clarksville and have done quite well there. Anybody who has ever been there will never forget the "Loser's Bracket" which got bigger every round!

Bear in mind there was another Clarksville track, (quarter-mile), only eight miles west of the current track, too.

I have been at 64 Tracks in 25 states (that I can remember)
Raced at 62 of those, (didn't race at Pomona or Fremont)
and was in the final round at 29 of those tracks

lots of miles driven, thousands of dollars in entry fees,
and a million great memories.

Hey Bret, talked with Ronnie Maggart today, he said he remembers you being
at Buffalo Valley !

How many?...Not enough. Back in the early 70's, I grew up within 4 miles of both Minnesota Dragway's and Twin Cities Speedway. I drove to them both and never needed to go any further to race. I wanted to go to Amber Green once, but I couldn't find a trailer to borrow. Back then it was hard enough for a kid to borrrow some slicks. lol

Forward.....After a couple grandkids, I've raced or have been to all the Div 5 tracks except Bandimere. My dream someday is to be in the staging lanes at Indy.
