Quote: That is the old Howland Dragstrip in Howland, Ohio, just outside of Warren. It closed in 1964 and is slowly being overtaken by a housing development.
Yep, I thought that looked familure. There's a Katies Corners Ice Cream Stand basicly setting on what would have beem the starting line.
If I remember the story right, the guy who owned the farm it sat on was a WW I Pilot and he built a runway to land his planes on after the war. I remember seeing something about him in the Howland Hardware store on the corner of 46 and old 82. (I grew up in Vienna 7-8 miles from there)
That track looks scary narrow.
Anyone have any pictures of the track back in the day? Dad said he seen Garlits run there in the early 60's.
