Recollections of the Last Drag Race

Just had a great read about the good old days at Lions. Carl Olson gives his memories on the last race. Here's a link, while over there at Dragblog , you may want to have a look around.

Thanks for posting this. I love reading about what a "surreal" place Lions was. I even went as far as track it down on Google Earth a month or so ago (was surprised that nobody else hadn`t already marked it)
Lions, Google Earth
Anyhow Carl summed it up perfect:

"...there will never be another place like Lions Drag Strip. It's just not possible in this day and age, and never will be again."

Thanks for the link.Don't know how I missed that thread. I'm still hoping we can some day, get back into the old Mater posts. There are some great threads about Lions and OCIR, that everyone seemed to enjoy.
