Puyallup Raceway was a pretty cool place in the day. It was the first drag race I went to (1975) and got a ride in Ken Dodgion's SS/GA 63' plymouth Belvedere. I went 11.27 / 117.63 as a passenger with no seat belt. Watched Gaines Markley's "Assasin" and the "Rain for Rent" teams run 5.70's in Top Fuel. I watched many races but never got to drive at Puyallup and wish I could have.

Also, a couple historic tracks in the Washington area before my time were Arlington and Shelton. They both have reunions each year.
