Since Drag Racers recently hammered some 1320 facilities through Yellow Bullet’s “Worst Dragstrips of All Time” Poll, we figured perhaps it was time to give credit to the Greatest Dragstrips of All Time. Kind of like what Jerry Rice is called “GOAT” – “Greatest Of All Time”, there are the nicest, most legendary facilities. This thread was recently started up on popular Drag Racing web site www.competitionplus.com
Forum Member TopFuel@Lions made the case for Lions Dragstrip, saying:
The greatest drag strip of all time? Easy answer on this one. The one and only Lions Drag Strip located at the famous intersection of 223rd & Alameda, Wilmington, California. No other track then or today will ever, ever, match the magic of the “Beach.”
However, Bobby Bennet, the owner of Comp Plus, suggested that “Spartanburg Dragway” should take the cake.
So, who is the Best Dragstrip of All Time?
We’re going to say Pomona. Not so much because of it’s heritage, but because of all of the memories that have been laid down there for generation after generation.
What say you? Comment away.
