This is a great idea . . .
There once was a road race circuit (ok, old airport) at Cotati - not
sure if they had drags there or not.
In about 1966 a friend and I drove out to Sear Point (probably 9 miles
from home) to check on the construction - drove the course backwards
(kids, what do they know) and I've heard they even put in a drag strip.
I grew up a "tea bagger" - sports cars were the only thing. Every month
I would wait for Road & Track magazine and cheer the Cobras onward. The
LSR defliction is only about 5 years old.

What a great thread idea , Dick !!! THANK YOU !!!
Dover NY Drags out of BIz I think late 60s, now a gravel pit, plowed up
strip
Long Island had horrible 1/8 Islip, Garlits really screwed his back on
the
super mogully shut down, gone to condos. Also Westhampton, 1/4, changed
names
to blahblah Motorsports, I think still there but closed.
Connecticut Dragway shut down, now car test site for Consumers Reports
Mag.
Still got the NJ tracks, or way up to Epping NH or Lebanon Valley,
NY...
BDF or others on this list can correct or enlarge on my memories.
