Someone flew a drone over the old dragstrip today.Amazed how much of the old asphalt is still there.
He starts from the starting line down past the finish line,which ends into a housing complex.Then back tracks from the finish line,to the starting line and return road.

Boy, does that bring back memories! Spent many a Sunday there back in the 60's.

Other than some houses it looks like that Strip could still be running today.
Not as dense as Raceway Park in Englishtown, NJ.

Vargo Dragway in Perkasie, Pa. is the same way. Looks pretty close to what it did in the mid 60's.
Hate to see these go under.
