They sometimes run no-prep races in the reverse direction starting on the top end.

I found an event flyer from the days when 7's and 8's were good for a Funny Car. I haven't seen any pictures of the track itself from the 70's.

Was there a long time ago, once. Never a reason for me to go back and a number of reasons not to. And it's not far for me.

MIR would be a better choice for the Mid Atlantic area.
