    First dragster at Conn. Dragway ever. Strokers Hot Rod Club. See my avatar.

    We stopped there to see Frank when we were returning from Charleston Ri. drags.

    The track was not even paved then.

    (Pic. taken in RI.) :cool:

    Lot of good memories from there. Got my father to take me the first time for my 12th birthday and he got hooked.
