U-Tube Vid of Local Drag Racing from the '60z

Scott Berschauer of Jerry's Auto Supply in Wenatchee Wa. had some family Super 8 film down loaded on a DVD. I had a friend burn a few copies & down load it on U-Tube for all to enjoy. This was typical local drag racing in the '60z at Ellensburg, Arlington and maybe a few others unidentified tracks in Washington St. This is in remembrance of his dad Jerry Berschauer (in stripped shirt) who has since passed.......................

Very cool footage. The other tracks are Pacific Raceways and Arlington but i'm guessing that is Ellensburg at the beginning and end about ten years apart. Looks like it starts in the late 50's and the last scenes are 68 or 69.

I thought Ellensburg was on the airport runway but that sure doesn't appear to be a runway. It kind of looks like one of the road/taxiways on the north side of the old WW2 airbase. I'm looking at it on Google Earth but can't place it.

Some of our members here own some of the cars shown.
