Here's some old 8mm film footage of the troubled Onondaga Dragway from the 1960's and 1970's.

I would LOVE to see the drags make a decent comeback...cool place to take a date and a GREAT alternative for the kids who have their faces stuck in some freakin' hand-held technology.

A day or evening at the drags was always fun-filled with excitement, food & drink, family & friends, loud fuel dragsters, funny cars and a colorful crowd!

Watch the video above and maybe some of you will recall the original thrill of going to the drags...
