Dick;


My old  AHRA Norwalk Dragway in Northern Ohio which had humble beginnings in
1963,as did most,was bought by Bill Bader Sr. in 1974. He ran a National IHRA
event and never looked back. Then Bill Bader Jr took over in 1998. And
recently its now an NHRA Premier Strip called "Summit Motorsports Park".Though
still owned by the Bader Family, sure don't look like the corn fileds I
remember, running my moms '66 Fairlane in pure stock automatic! LOL
