Thanks for showing this video! Its my childhood memories. I've been to Cloverleaf from the mid 60s to 1990 when they closed. Hung out at Dragway 42 from the mid 60s to the 80s. At that time not many heard of Norwalk Dragway which opened in 1963
Hi, I lost my brother a couple years ago to cancer, he was born in 1964. He was there I wasn't. I was at the Cloverleaf part. Even though its our family videos I still watch to see what he saw at 42. At one point you can see the back of his head on the left side of the screen. Some coal stuff there, I appreciate the comment. I wish you well.
You can still listen to wixy1260 but, it is only on line through there website. Here is the Link. streamdb8web.securenetsystems.net/cirruscontent/WIXY1260
I like that they are running to drag strips at the same time. Charlotte has nothing on this old track (except safety). I like the cars running fender to fender in the near lane.
Jack chambers Jeep juakabutchi and the rest of our heros i loved that place and Thompson dragway lorain county speedway Norwalk raceway park the great old days
Construction began in 1971 on the 480 bridge and was completed in 1975 but was cited for numerous safety concerns amongst several other issues including citations do to structural concerns and wasn't opened till 1977. This is hear say, so don't quote me on that. But this information is from a very reliable source. To this day Iv'e never crossed that bridge and never will.............

The Dragster May be my late Uncle Keith Grammer in "THE JADE EAST"
If you liked this track, Windy City Racing made a replica of the track for NR2003 (NASCAR Racing 2003 Season)
