Dave...do you know when Dunkirk closed and why? Was one reason the fact that Niagara opened? Any more Dunkirk stories and/or photos...I think you posted some before?

Any one remember Montgomery Drag Strip at the old airport just south of Route 84 near Newburgh, New York.

How about Pocono Drag Lodge near Wilkes Barre and Bear Creek in PA.

They ran from the late 50's into the 60's

Back in the day (the 60's) Pocono Drag Lodge was the weekly stomping grounds of such noteables as Tim Richards, Joe Amato, John Gulius and several other well known figures.
