We had a track in Heath , Ohio which is 15 minutes away from National Trail Raceway, which was a 1000 foot track and the shut down was a hill and you could coast to your pit area. It was called 'Hyde Park Drag Strip". If you like rowing 5&6 speeds we also have a 1 mile track here in Willmington, Ohio for your speed runs.

I don't remember the track being 1000'. I thought it was 1/4 mile. Maybe that's why I liked that place so well.

Hyde Park was 1000' until about 1965 and then they built a 1/4 mile track that went across the 1000' at an angle at that time. Track closed in about 1971. That was the first track that I raced on and that was 1967. Been racing Mopars ever since.

I know Pacemakers was 1/4 mile at one time untill the cars got too fast and they didn't have the land to lengthen the track shut down and keep them out of the woods and the farmers corn field.
