I actually went down that track a few times, one day in the summer of '67. My cousin and I were on our way to Canada for Expo '67, the World's Fair that year. We stopped and spent the night at a campground near the airport. The next morning we discovered we were next to a dragstrip. Drove in the open gate, no one was there so we did what teenagers do. We made about 3 passes each! Coming back from the last trip down a guy shook his finger at us, smiling, and pointed towards the gate.
A yellow 1967 Dodge Coronet convertible at Niagra Dragway was my first time down a "real" quarter mile dragstrip at age 15.
