Here's mine.
Then: Bluegrass Dragway in Lexington, KY. Closed around 1978. As with all old tracks a bunch of touring pros made stops here and Divison 3 points meets as both an NHRA & IHRA track.

Now: a office and industrial Park, still using the track as main roadway in.

This photo was taken around mid 60's opening day

Sorry no pictures but Green Valley Race City in Smithfield(Fort Worth) TX

Here Meander and Howland drag strips.I rememeber when Art Arfroms brought the Green Monster up from Akron.Rocky

Baylands Raceway in Fremont California. Went there alot as a kid with my family and friends, great memories. It's probably one of the main reasons I'm into hot rods. I wish it was still around.....

Vineland Speedway, Vineland N.J. 1958 to 1965 and befor that Woodbine airport was a part time strip. I think there is a web site for the old Vineland Speedway. I rember when this guy named Joe.Jacono came down with his nail head Buick powered A/MR then take the body off and run A/D made a lot of frends when it came time for top elimanator and he ran him self for the money.

Here we are at the closed Vineland speedway for some T&T with the C/D, sorry for the vue of my best side but this is all I have for a photo

Several have closed in the Atlanta area.
Yellow River Dragstrip- where Houston Platt crashed into the crowd. Now the strip is part of the roadway in a trailer park.


Atlanta Speed Shop Dragway- not sure when it closed (early 90s?)- now has a subdivision built where it was. Here's a youtube video of a Camaro smacking the guardrail there.

www.HotRodder.com has a drag strip section with lots of info on old strips.

Never raced there, but some good reading.

Halls raceway in Halls TN was a great track in the early 60s and into the 70s. It was visited by most of the Pros and was considered one of the better tracks in the south by a few guys that raced there.

Halls was running in the 50s, my brother won SS/A there in 1958 with his 57 Chev, 270HP, powerglide trans.

Most of the tracks we raced at in the 60s and 70s are gone now. It's a shame! But, to be honest, many were accidents waiting to happen, short shut off areas, little safety provisions, etc. But that is how drag racing started in the south.

Some that my feeble memory remembers:
Cumberland Raceway-Nashville
Old Hickory Raceway-Old Hickory, TN
Riverside Raceway-Nashville
Super Dragway-Fairview, TN
Smithville Dragway-Smithville, TN
Buffalo Valley Raceway- Carthage, TN
Rockwood Dragway-Rockwood, TN
Maryville Dragway-Knoxville, TN
Lakeland Dragway-Memphis
City Raceway-Jackson, TN
Optimist Dragway-Chattanooga
Airport Dragway-Columbia, TN
Sturgis Dragway-Sturgis, KY
Highway 11- Bristol, TN
Mountain Dragway-Lynchburg, VA
Green Valley Dragway, outside of Gunnerville, AL
Courtland Raceway, Courtland, AL
Delta Dragway, Greenwood, MS
Sunset Dragway, north of Huntsville, AL
There was also a track north of Evansville, IN
There was also a track in Sedalia, MO
I also remember racing at Harvey Crain's track at Hailieh, FL(invitational race)

Those were "barnstorming" tracks---many times we could race four times per week!

The one I remember in Ohio is Wayne Trail in Van Wert. Last I heard it is just a overgrown field now.I went there a couple of times with dad in the late 70's. It was a 2 lane track with grass between each lane. They would always have a Memorial and Labor day race that would pay $1000 to win. A good friend took dads car over one year and won the Labor day race.

I only went there as a kid to spectate but Dallas International Motor Speedway was WAY ahead of its time I saw Sox&Martin,Snake ,Mongoose,Garlits ,Ramchargers and more in about 1970

Detroit drag way

In CA. Bishop, Carlsbad, Colton, Fontana, Long Beach, Rialto, Inyokern, Fremont (AKA San Jose) Orange County, LACR (AKA Palmdale) Two that I never race at or saw ,San Gabriel andSan Fernado.
