Brilliant’s mayor and police department set up a drag strip for young people south of the village on old Route 7. Races ran on a closed-off stretch of road between the Tidd and Cardinal power plants, just southwest of town, every Sunday afternoon on a trial basis. They drew about 40 to 50 cars. The last race of 1972 was on Sunday, September 12.
