: I went down to southern Indiana for a $2K
: No-Box race at Graham's New Hope Dragway.
: The track was built in 1966 by a farmer who
: was tired of his kids getting busted street
: racing. This was the most bizarre track I
: have ever been to. It was literally built in
: a cow pasture! It was 1/8th mile, all
: concrete, but the lanes were separate from
: each other and only 10 feet wide. Shutdown
: was really short, and the fast cars would
: run past the return road, back up, and then
: get off the track. I ended up going red in
: the third round against the guy who won it.
: This place is like a $10 hooker. You know
: you really oughta stay away, but you just
: can't wait to go back! Doug is gonna post a
: couple pictures that I took down there. You
: gotta see it to believe it!

: Reminds me of Jacksons Dragway, at Savanna,
: N.Y. Except they had a traffic light instead
: of a tree. Handicaps were done on distance,
: one car spotted further down the track, and
: both cars started at the same time. Ran
: there back around 1964 or 65.

: Talk about a "backwoods" track, looks
: kind of bumpy to me! ; )
