Title: Indoor Drag Racing 1963
Post by: Einar K. Möller on August 28, 2012, 15:13:51
Ég var víst búinn að lofa því að smella þessu hérna inn eftir spjall við félaga mína í staffinu á laugardaginn var.

With USAC sanctioning the event, the first-ever indoor drag races took place on December 30, 1962. The “track” was a 440-foot stretch of the Amphitheater, with each lane being 60-feet wide and bordered by steel Armco guard rail. According to accounts from the event, several hundred cars showed up to race, finding the concrete slab floor “like racing on ice.”
