I started racing there in 1970. George was a true friend and will be missed greatly. He was one of a kind,and the best thing was,he did it his way.
RIP my friend.

Even up here in Canada we know George Ray's Wildcat drag strip
Best little strip on the planet.

Lost another real car guy.

We have raced there a many of times, George provided us with a place to race our cars on Sunday afternoons, and meet many many good friends.

Here are a few pictures of Mr. Ray. I have tons of them.

George built his track in 1961, and would flag the start.


George in his hot rod.

I remember the first time I heard about this track on powerblock 5 or 6 years ago. I would have liked to go to the track, to experience grass roots racing. Hopefully in his memory someone will keep the track up and running.

I guess even god needs cool friends.....
