Default Re: 325 Dragstrips in the US in 1968 ?

As for the Indiana listings, Avilla was IHRA, US 30 was UDRA I believe, Osceola was independent/outlaw or NADS and Terre Haute, which was NHRA is completely missing. I also know there was a George Ray type drag strip in Van Wert Ohio that isn't listed. Had to be a lot more than 325 no doubt.

Happy to report 3 of the 4 are still open in Kentucky. And 2 more newer ones that I know of. They are London, Ky and Jamestown, Ky

I found another remark made in 1970 that NHRA had 160+ dragstrips and AHRA had 90+ (can´t remember the exact numbers). So those 325 can´t be NHRA only.

I also noticed that Van Wert was missing and they are also missing Kettlersville, OH.
