No one has pinned down where this strip was yet.
State motorcycle drag championships were held at a site two miles east of Rapid City, sponsored by the Black Hills Cycle Club. Drag races were also held in June 1954. In 1955 Jay Masten of Rapid City set the state quarter-mile record in the 650cc class with a 13.45 on a Triumph T-110. Byron Wheeler had the quickest time at the state meet on September 30, 1956, at 13.79 seconds, and on April 28, 1957, Masten lowered his own record to 13.11.
