Re: Lost Drag Strips
Well since I just went to a reunion of the "last drag race" (1972) at the NHRA museum this weekend
How about Lions Drag Strip down near Harbor City here in So Cal - or as it was better know as "The Beach"
Very fast and well run by "CJ Pappy Harty" after Mickey Thompson left in the early 60s
Those were the glory days for the little guys since the big guys were just getting started
The Moongose, Snake, TV Tommy, Bagshaw, Larry Sutton, Linda Vaughn were all there as well as too many others to numerous to mention
:-) peace
