If its the place I think it is I've seen it and it is pretty cool. I always thought it was cool cause you could see his house then next to it was a drag strip.

I have heard he is kinda cranky. It's an 1/8 mile track.

I think Popular Hot Rodding TV did a spot on this place, one of the hosts grew up around there.

Very cool place! I've got to stop there. Wish there were more like it. True roots of drag racing!

I've been there. It was fun to get a trophy.
It's real narrow. I wouldn't want to go real fast there, but for your typical hot rod, it is fine (assuming you go straight).
They are real liberal with their classes/tech inspection.

I think we covered this before?
If I remember right, Ryan and the owner of that strip don't see eye to eye and there won't be any HAMB-sponsered events there.
I think this is the same place? http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif

Too bad we can't have a track like that out here in the "land of fruits and nuts"...to many lawyers in Ca I guess. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif

I posted in the HAMB Drags forum about George Rays right after the event. Seems like the guy screwed Ryan during his Pro Mod days. NO chance of ever having the HAMB Drags there.
But I'm going to check it out this summer...
