Lions Drag Strip seldom marched to the sound of the same drummer as everyone else. From about 1965 until just before it closed, Lions was sanctioned by AHRA. As I recall, about the only time they had a 5 amber tree was when they ran an NHRA event. I remember an NHRA divisional there in July of 1972 and, in the last days, the final event before the track closed featured an NHRA eliminator show. C.J. Hart managed the track in the later years.
