North Hudson Dragstrip, New York

Way up there in Essex County, off of Route 9, East of Schroon Lake.

Lake George Country

About 150 Miles - north of Albany, New York

Also, about {2 Hours} north of South Glens Falls Dragstrip.

Difficult to get to before 1966. Then when the Northway {I-87} opened up, with access off of Exits 29 or 30, it was a little easier.

Attracted 'drag racers' from the surrounding area;
Port Henry, Ticonderoga, Lake Placid, Plattsburg, Malone and the Adirondack area.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A 'sparsley' populated Town, where about a 'dozen' local Businessmen got together and built a 1/4 Mile Dragstrip in {1964}

Ran on Saturday Night's (Summertime) and Sundays (Spring and Fall).

Primarily a 'local track', for the 'Far North Upstate Gearheads'.

Shirley Muldowney 'drag raced' there a couple of times during the Summer 'vacation season'.

They held a yearly 'Gasser Meet', and a 'Junior Fueler Dragster' event..

In the mid-60's, a handful of { B-Level } "AWB Match Race Events" and the usual 'Wheelstander' appearance during the Summer.

They did hold a 'very big' Super Stock Meet every August, which was their 'highlight event of the year'.

Mostly 'local' { Stockers, Modified Street Cars, and Gassers }, with a few Super Stockers and Competition cars.

Car Counts in the 150+ range.

Hey Day......'1965 thru 1971'.

Closed in 1974.
