I'm talking about the little eighth-mile drag strip that operated in the 1950's and 60's in Owensboro, Kentucky, and was located just outside town, past the Owensboro Country Club, off of Veach Road. It was a "modest" operation, with an old stop-light starting system and because it had no "Christmas tree" for handicap starts the time-honored car length spotting system was used. So, if you had an A/Stock 427 Ford racing a V/Stock '52 Studebaker the Stude was positioned almost halfway down the track
