Man that brings back memories. I grew up 2 miles from Detroit drag way. This was back before they moved the Fall Nationals from Detroit to Indianapolis. School started right after Labor Day and the Nats would start the following week. We would skip school every day during the Nats and spend the day at Detroit Drag Way. This was in 60, 61, 62 and 63. None of us had any money so everyday we would crawl under the fence behind the hill. There were no stands at Detroit back then, just a pile of dirt stretching from the starting line to about the eighth mile on the spectator side. Those were the days!
