I though it would be neat to share with you guys some abandoned drag strips that another person has put together. I am not certain how accurate these are but I think they are cool. I have a few to post and will post them as I get time...

This guy tries to find them and take current photos..

(If you know of anymore let me know)

Here is the first one Motorcity Dragway near Detroit 1957-1978

FOUND 'EM! I mentioned in my post about lost pics and misplaced negs-well,a large bag of negatives were found this past weekend(Thank you,Lord),including U.S. Nationals 1982-5 and Tri-City Dragway in 1974-6. The pics aren't of the abandoned strip,but when it was active. When I get a chance to sort through them,I'll know what I have and then I need to see if they'll still print out and then get 'em posted and then...
I know,sounds lame;wait until you see the pics! I'll try not to keep y'all waiting too long.

Get a film scanner. A lot of flat bed scanners have negative slots built in em. I want to see them!!! I love old race pics!!

I go past this place everytime I go to the beach, this time I took a few pics.
Seminole Dragway near Tallahassee Fla. last ran in the early 80's I think.
Tower, or what's left of it.
Looking down track from the starting line.
Looking up track from the finish line (1/4)
Guard rail, REALLY safe stuff here.

Good stuff guys, Its funny people always put the owners down, and say they don't know how to run the track, and say all bad shit. But when its gone, I guess we will have pictures too remember the good times. Great post, I remember them days.

thanks guys
