Anybody remember Hyde Park Raceway in Heath Ohio? After going to Pacemakers Dragstrip and Hyde Park Raceway for many years, Dad let me drive his prized Chrysler powered Willys at Hyde Park in the spring of 1968, at the ripe old age of 15. Even though Hyde Park closed in 1968, I still own the Willys as I raced it in 1968.


I remember Hyde Park. I don't believe it closed in '68..I ran there after that,,probably in '69 sometime or later. Hyde Park was my first organized racing event in EARLY '68. I had just bought a '68 Roadrunner in Dec. '67,,Hyde opened early, snow still on ground in areas, I WON! Ran and WON both 'pure stock' and 'stock'! Needless to say, I was HOOKED on drag racin'! Ran there several times after,,,with not so much success.

If you like drag racing, support your local track.
