I raced at the old Lakeland Dragway near Memphis.
Was there for an IHRA Bracket Finals in late 70's.
Also went there for an IHRA points race in 70's. Was there the day Tommy Ivo's Charger funny car matched the Blue Max which crashed that day) Remember Herb McCandless won Super Mod or some class like that with a 70's Cuda also that weekend also.
Here's a photo I took that day.

Does anyone have any pictures of the old Howland Drag Strip in Howland Ohio? I have heard stories about it and I have seen the remains but I have never seen what it looked like when it was running back in the 50's and early 60's.
Also does anyone have pictures of the old Skyline drag stip in New Castle Pa?
Good luck with Skyline. I personally know the old manager from there and he doesn't have anything. He doesn't know anyone that does either.
I do have some shots of Dick Landy's '65 there that my Grandpa took. They aren't really the best though, you can't see the starting line/downtrack. They are also on slides.

That would be cool if you can post them... I just would like to see it. Dad grew up in New Castle and he use to go to Skyline all the time. I'm sure he was there when Landy was there.
Thanks

Raven Rock Dragway, located on an airport on RT. 52 just West of Portsmouth, Ohio. I only raced there once. It was a little ahead of my time.
