Starting in 1958 as a 1/4 mile dirt track has been shortened to a 1/8 mile drag strip in Goodlettsville, Tn, sitting on top of a hill as it has always been known as “the Hill”. I have been coming here for over the last 40 some odd years. The track has had many names over the years, starting with Union Hill International Dragway.
Funny thing is seeing some of the names there that have been racing there for generations. This track has it own kind of charm. Nothing has really changed since I have been coming up here.
Tracks like this are getting hard to find; some are either closing because of money, or just time itself killing them one by one. How is the health of this track? Well sounds shaky at best, talking to some of the drivers last night.
I hope it doesn’t meet the same demise as others around the country have, and some way and how, there is a spark that brings more butts back in the stands and cars in the pits. After all, if you’re a motorsports nut like me, you find yourself drawn to a loud engine and tires smoking.
