There were over 300 cars there before 9:30 am...I would guess another 100 came in after I got there.

Nice pictures Tom. Is the drag strip or part of the strip still there? Hey, Lower that black car a little bit. Looks like you are going into the swamps or off roading with it! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif

https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/hmmm.gif No pics of Kwhizz? He made every car show in the midwest this weekend, I figured he might have popped in at Dover too. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/wink.gif

Looks like another great event for the Dover guys. Some cool stuff there. Thanks for the coverage Tom! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/flag.gif

The old strip is still there in the weeds....I think. As for the black car...you are the only one complaining, so what does that tell us https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/hmmm.gif

Sammy, there is a video clip posted on the Dover site where they interviewed a bunch of former competitors at the entrance to the old track. At the beginning of the video Dino is standing on a rise and points off in the distance saying, "that is where the old strip used to be." It seems like he said they've removed something like 15 - 20 feet of dirt from that area.

You can join the site and view the videos. Look under "Dover Field Trip" But to answer your question, No, the strip is gone.
