Thompson dragway near cleveland ohio
 

Anyone on here from this area and been to the track in the early 70s? I knew the original owner of my z raced it but Sunday I pulled the seats out and there was a golf sized pencil under the seat that said Thompson drag raceway. Also a nasty ear plug!

I raced there a lot the last 3 years I run a index series called renegaderacingassociation.com. We are a street car themed serie that runs ols class that runs 1/8 th mile heads up there are a couple of the OLS cars running in the high 4second zone and there are 3 index classes 8.90 9.90 and a 10.50 index class.The track was repaved about 3 weeks ago.Thompson is a cool track to race at and the staff at the track are wonderful to deal with.

I have a picture of the owner standing in front of it but that's all i have. I am not sure if he put the 140 cam in when the crank was balanced but the bearings are dated 9/71. I have talked to his son but some of the info is foggy. I live nw of Columbus and the car was sold new in hubbard we think
