The Coffeyville Coffey Grinders Hot Rod Club ran drag races, probably at the Coffeyville Municipal Airport four miles northeast of town. The field had been an Army airfield during the war before it was turned over to the town. A race ran on July 20, 1958, and in 1960-61 races were held on the first and third Sundays under NHRA sanction. The Edna strip was only fifteen miles away.
Background
Coffeyville Municipal Airport is still owned by the city and open for public use, four miles northeast of town in Montgomery County.
