Since it was a nice day I figured I'd take a look at what became of 75-80. As many of you know, it closed in 2005, but as these pics show, it looks as though it's been closed for 15 years, not 3.
Ticket booth on the pit side. This is where you got your tech card. Note the "Keep Out" sign. Lawfish, please don't arrest me.
After I ducked under the gate, I was able to take these pictures:
Pits to the left of the gate. In the distance you can see the shutdown area. Directly in front of the shutdown area is where most of the people I know used to pit. If you have really good vision (and if the pic's good enough) you can probably just see the ticket booth where you would've picked up your timeslip.
Another view of the pits showing the scoreboard. In the background is the covered spectator area. Just to the left of the scoreboard (and far enough behind it to be out of the picture) is the go-cart track. The building off to the right is the concession stand. The staging lanes would've overflowed into the foreground on most weekends.
Staging lanes. To the left is the timing tower and the grandstands. From left to right would've been test/tune, trophy, street, pro, and s/pro. racers had to make a 180 degree turn onto the track. People used to park along the fence to the right and stand on their trucks to watch for free.
Turn onto track. To the right is the burnout box. All cars had to back into the burnout box. Spectators used to stand behind it (I guess it was one of the few tracks that would let you do that. Dragsters using lane 1 had to turn into lane 2 and back up because the turn was so sharp. Wilcom didn't change a thing since the track was built, and it obviously wasn't meant for modern rails or anything as fast as what was run there for that matter.
View down the track. Tower closest on the left was just a timing tower where the computers,etc that ran the chrondek (they never changed it) timing system was located. The tower farthest away was where the announcer sat. The track had a short shutdown area; the top of that hill was the end. Return road ran through the woods before re-entering the pits at the 1/4 mile finish.
View down lane 2. Some members here might remember this view.
View of starting line showing where the famous shack the starter sat in was (between the guardrails and the wall down the middle of the track.) The chair the starter sat on is still there, rusting away.
Jr. dragster staging lanes. I still remember my first time sitting here, waiting for my first run. The jr. dragster pit area is in the background. The bathroom is off to the left.
Spectator side grandstands. The only things here that reveal how recent this track was open are the signs.
To the left of the grandstands. The building with the red covered windows was the concession stand on the spectator side. Again, the covered area was spectator seating. The jr.dragster return road is completely overgrown.
Timing tower/ announcer's booth still has track logo painted on. If I would've taken pics of the spectator entrance they had an old-style coke sign, which probably wasn't changed since the '60s either.
Anyone hungry? Track menue- pit side.
Get your chili cheese dogs here. You 75-80 racers know what I'm talking about. Everyone else doesn't have any idea what they missed out on.
And so ends our tour of 75-80. Didn't want to stay too long since I don't know any cops in frederick county....
over the lack of construction activity since it closed.
As it sits it probably needs to be repaved, basically everything will have to be rebuilt so you can get NHRA to sanction it and to get insurance.
