Yes, I guess I did lead a "sherlted" life at age 8 in 1981 when the track closed; I was in third grade at Cassidy learning how to spell "sheltered".

Didn't care about spelling in scholl just wanted out to go street racing and then Detroit Dragway opened in August 1959 2 weeeks befor US Nationals there. Just to bad there is no spell check here or a least I haven't found it yet!!!!!!

Hey Terry, you mean like this

bluegrassx · 08-12-2010, 12:57 PM

Bluegrass was located 5 miles South of Lexington on US 27. Actual track location was Nicholasville, KY. although it was always listed as other tracks do, to the nearest larger city being Lexington.

I am still looking for more old photos from the track for a DVD project for the Reunion.
