Thumbs up combo 50 year celebration US-60 Dragway

this weekend US-60 Dragway in hardinsburg Ky (about 20 mile from ohio valley) is having its 50th year celebration....
$1000 ihra/nhra class combo and regualr brackets plus nostalgia classes...
many longtime heros will be there ... Joe Williamson, Frakes & Funk Jim Lyons and many more...

you wont hear about it anywhere because it is an unsanctioned track... but it will be a good time... even if ya dont race >>> will be 500-1000 spectators when last time that many people wanted to see you race ?

captain ... sucks i gotta go to chicago !!!!!!!!!

Remember reading in 'Dragster years ago...US-60 held some very intense Stock and
SS races...all the big names would attend...probably big-$$ payout.....

One name I recall was Morris Lightfoot...didn't he run a '60 Chev like yours, Jack?

Wish I could go....

they said it had been 40 years since a stock/super stock final was run at US-60. Would like to thank Judy Snead for allowing us to race. Great track with awesome bite. They are considering another combo sometime in September.
Winner : Ricky Clark

Will they allow "ALL" IHRA classes to run? Or do they follow the same rules as Ohio Valley and only allow SS/Prod and Crate motor cars? Sounds like a fun time. Takes us 2 hours give or take to get to the Valley.

Is this track roughly on the same road just south?

yes any ihra class can run in the combo. US-60 is about 45 minutes past ohio valley. you go past ovd to muldraugh and turn on US60 from there it is 35 miles to the track.

Thanks Ricky. Haven't been back down to Kentucky since 2012. About due for a return trip.

That's good to hear.
I know OV and BG won't let the IHRA Pure Stockers run there.

I'll have the Pure Stocker at US60 in Sept. if they run another combo race.

Oh, BTW

Congrats on your win Ricky !

Ricky, congrats on your win! Yeah, the time frame for those races year ago might be right...about '73 or '74. Took me awhile to remember...but think names like Doane,
Keown, Kyle Bros, Blankenship, Turnage, and Vineyard...might have run there. My ND's have been gone for years...so I'm scanning my brain...

Hopefully they'll have you guys back in Sept. Good luck!

The race was a little light on the car count, hopefully if they have another one the car count will be better. SS Wannabee to answer your question about Morris Littlefoot's car, it was a SS/X 1960 4-door chevy with a 283/2 bbl carb and a 3-speed transmission. J.Gower stock 3058
