This 3/8-mile paved oval at 1801 Allison Avenue opened in 1969 and held drag races for street-legal cars starting Saturday night, April 16, 1977. Winners got trophies and cash, and drag races ran every week until early June. On Saturday night, May 7, 1977, John Emmi won the one-on-one races in his ‘72 Javelin, beating Mike Arena’s ‘66 GTO. A housing development and mobile home park now cover the site.
