Neat listing - Thanks. Elk Creek and Waynesboro were left off of the Virginia list. Smaller strips to be sure.

Here is another list of sanctioned drag strips from 1969 that I found in a "National Dragster" that Sammy sent me earlier this year. Sanctioned by whom ? I understand there are/were a few different organisations like NHRA, AHRA, IHRA. Was National Dragster a magazine just for one of these organisations ?

National Dragster was/is the voice of the NHRA.

No tracks listed in MO (MoKan, KCIR, MAR). Only 1 track listed for Kansas (Great Bend, converted air strip, site of the first US nationals, still in existence).

Found this in a Start & Strip from 1969. They were selling these almanacs which contain a "complete dragstrip listing". Since I don´t have one of these almanacs, I don´t know what made a track get on the list or not.
