It was a great bit of luck to grow up near such a great drag strip as Green Valley Raceway. It was a different time. They used to advertise all the big grudge races and exibition cars on the radio with great fan fare. I would pester my folks all week wanting to go. Somtimes they would take me. Then when I got older they would drop a friend and I off and pick us up later. We never stayed on the spectator side it was straight across the bridge that went over the staging lanes into the thick of it, I was a kid and that was my candy store.

The track was sold after much pressure on Bill from the city of NRH and well to do property owners that came along well after the track was built. Bill went to Amarillo and operated a track there till he bought Texas Raceway and moved back to this area. Bill is gone now but his daughter still runs Texas Raceway and that track will probably come to the same end as Green Valley Raceway.
