My daughter stopped by and told me they went to some park that used to be a drag strip and racetrack in the Dundee area..long closed..I think last races were in 1969...supposed to be one of the longest straight a ways in racing at the time..I never heard of this ...whats the deal ?

Meadowdale Raceway. Take 62 west to 31 head south it's a mile or so on the right. Just south of Algonquin. You can still see the Pure oil concrete silo without leaves on the trees. That's a long out for a guy like you. Probably stir memories of the car show where you lost to phantom "Nickey" Camaro .....

Darren, I was just there. This looks like a cool place to check out. I think I'll be going this spring and bring my bike.

Re: Drag strip/Race track Dundee Illinois area
i grew up 5 minutes from that track. the silo is on rt 31 and was at the end of a huge banking turn that cars would actually fly off the track onto the road. i may just go there this weekend and take some pics for the board to enjoy.
