Rumor is, the former Lee County Dragway land has been sold and will be turned into a warehouse distribution center. The old tower and what's left of the track will be removed. Anybody wishing to see what it still looks like, should do it soon.
If anybody has any old photos or videos of the place, please let me know. Thanks

I have a few pictures from there.   I also have some taken the way it stand now,  
It was a good ole track in it's day.
I only raced there once with a black 72 Charger Funny Car.

I raced there in the late 70's and early 80's and I am currently trying to gather as much info and photos as possible so that this track will live on in spirit at least. If you have ANY info ...anecdotes.... ANYTHING please contact me.

I had contacted Ron several years ago about this project and we shared a few memories but unfortunately the project got sidelined by his untimely passing.

thanks in advance - Scott

I have several photos from the early 70s. Mostly taken from the spectator stands. I would love to have more if someone is willing to share. I would also be interested in any photos from the dragstrip at Kahoka, Mo. If interested, contact me at tomfelds@yahoo.com  Thanks.
