What dragstrips have you raced at?

I remembered another track from the past... Bayview Raceway. I raced there in 1960. It was just outside of Seattle. (It's all homes now) I remember a track promotion that they had one year. They were giving away a full-race Hemi. Everyone bought tickets and you had to be there to claim your prize. They did this after the last race was over. Everyone gathered around the finish line... The announcer said, "And the winner is Joe Blow!" Joe started his pick-up and backed it up about 30' to load the Hemi. Everyone groaned, "It's a set up. Fix, Fix, Fix!" I did not think Joe (whatever his name was) was ever going to get out of the place. People were really up in arms about this deal. He turned out to be an employee at the raceway. Not very smart of the promoters.

Just so you guys know, I was a Mopor guy even then. I had a 50 Merc Club Coupe with a '57 Dodge Semi-Hemi tri-powered engine. I won the E-gas Inland Empire Championship with that car. After "Westside Story", Merc's were very cool cars. Especially black ones! :wink:
