    That concession stand had the best foil wrap cheeseburgers !!! I just know it !!
  • Great video! My father-n-law is Duane in the video. My great uncle was part owner of the track and my mother worked in the consession stand ( white trailer talked about in the video). I've been on it several times, raced some friends on my dirtbike on it years ago and drive by it almost daily.

    Good to come across this video. Many years ago Rod gave his collection of photos to copy that he had of local tracks. Good to see him again, and thanks again Rod.

    My grandfather was a pastor at a church nearby this track, and my mother remembered being able to hear the cars during Sunday Service.

    Cool to see the old "bones" of what is left of so many peoples weekends from back in the day! With all the insurance restrictions and the advent of the moto " it was someone elses fault so I will sue" shut so many of these places down. However these small local tracks kept the kids off the street and really kept them out of serious trouble. We need more places like this to make a return for our kids ...... 😊 my opinion anyway?

    That was a really neat video, and those old dragstrip sure bring back the memories, it puts a smile on my face every time❤️

    My Dad raced at Nu-Be on occasion. Normally raced at Sunset though. Sometimes Drag City as well. He had the Nu-Be class winner stickers on one side of his back window and the Sunset class winner stickers on the other. I remember that Captain Caveman car. It used to race at Sunset also once in a while. That white trailer was definitely the concession stand, I remember that for certain. I think my dad may have known Rodney way back when, I'm pretty certain of that.

    US 30 Dragstrip in Indiana would be another good one to cover
