Re: Cornhusker Raceway Park
No pictures of the 1963 Plymouth. Cornhusker opened in fall 1969. Some Cornhusker Drag Record Holders. Still trying to figure out the green Cuda.

Re: Cornhusker Raceway Park
Cornhusker Raceway Park closed due to racer boycott asking for better payouts

Re: Cornhusker Raceway Park
Here is a video of the Corvette my dad drove.
He also has about 20 or 30 mins of racing on super 8 with a couple of the Griffiths when they were young and skinny.  . Might even have a few minutes from the weekend everyone loaded up to protest. Part of the tower and starter's box are restored and in a car collection. Last edited by cad; 01-30-2012 at 05:52 PM. |

Re: Cornhusker Raceway Park
Hagens Cuda was bought by a guy named Lenny Lowe out of Chippewa Falls Wisc from what I understand.

 V/PS, set that record on June 12, 1970. I remember it well, because while I was there, where no one could find me, my wife went into labor and delivered our second son. OOPS. Well, my Dad liked the trophy, but didn't appreciate me using his 6 month old car to drag race.  Had to stand on the brakes 5 or 10' before the traps, just to get within the ?.2 sec? bracket. Would have won a bunch of money, had I raced Stock Eliminator that day. I broke the existing Nat'l Record by a full 2 seconds. The day kept getting hotter and the car kept running better. It was a blazing fast 69 Rambler American, with a 199 cu in 6 cyl, with an automatic trans. Fun day. Thanks for the memories. Would've been nice if my name wouldn't have been misspelled, though. Oh well, I know it's me and so do lots of my friends.
