We lived to tell about it.
Actually - I was just thinking about that.
Back then the trip to the track would have been all two lane roads (no freeways) and about 20 to 90 miles one way. Probably 50-55 mph max. I recall that the road to Tri City dragway was dirt (paved in one direction, dirt going the other way).
Not like today where we are going all over the eastern 1/3 of the United States at freeway speeds (and above).
