    We used to go there quite a bit when we were a teenagers. I haven’t been there since about 1974. I just looked it up on Google to see if it was still there and it says yes it’s still standing and it’s still active but it says they closed on Saturday And Sunday this did not sound right to me. Does anybody know anything about the place or is that a misprint or what’s the deal weekend? That’s when everybody is off why would the drag strip be closed? I figured somebody would know. Thanks, Bob.

    Took some a little bit longer to go under than others really missed the pension. I missed mine by about a month of being vested it only woulda been around 200 a week since the company was gone, but that’s certainly better than nothing
