Abandoned Drag Strip

Ah yes, L.A.C.R
I spent many a Friday night there

Lost to us because "Locals" complained of noise!
And EPS (Allegedly?)

Funny thing:
I JUST saw a recently published book on this topic: "Lost dragstrips"?
I think a guy by the name of Tommy Lee?
Or, perhaps a newer one has just been released...

YES: Snakeyes did post a thread on same topic...
But snakeyes, these guys paid me to post on this one...LOL

BTW: One of my FAVs was Kilkare out near Dayton during the 80s
