I lived in Medford and was a member of the ODRA that built and ran this track the first year. This whole park was set aside on the old White Army Base as a designated NOISE park by Pres Richard Nixon and dedicated by his wife Pat. It is a great place to race. The shut off is up hill and you can coast all the way back to your pit. The big bore shooting range is a thorn in the side of the Drag Strip. Because of the shooting range the pits can not be paved (something about heat waves off asphalt affecting the bullet) So 15 or 20 guys that shoot a couple of times a year keep improvements from happening.
