Thanks for the pictures from a previous Ohio resident

 

Wow, what a Great collection of photos! Lots of cars I had forgotten about. There was an old car at Thompson last spring with no motor or trans that looked an awful lot like that altered wheelbase shoebox ford, the "Glass Menagerie" on page 38. Thanks for posting this!

 

From a great era in drag racing! Makes you wonder what has happened to all those cars. Butch/56sedandelivery.

 

Man,those are great. Edgewater is the first drag strip I ever attended in 1981. It's still open, right?

 

Yep. Still alive and well. We (Cincy Street Rods) still host our Hot Rod Drags there every August.

 

Thanks for posting.

 

Remind me next year and I'll bring down a caravan of Columbus guys. It looks like a nice place( I don't remember much about it).
