Drag strips in the Arlington, Va area.
What would have been the drag strips in the Arlington, Va area in the '60s-'70s?

Re: Drag strips in the Arlington, Va area.
NHRA Tracks in that area were:
Colonial Beach Dragway in Colonial Beach, Virginia New London Dragstrip, Lynchburg Virginia Sumerduck Dragway, Cuppeper, Virginia...1/8 mile Suffolk Raceway, Suffolk Virginia....great track home of the "Little Guy National Open." Was a concrete air strip. These are NHRA DIV. 2 tracks. West Virginia: Eldora Raceway in Fairmont North Carolina: Shuffletown Dragway Charlotte, NC 1959-1992 Hudson Drag Strip Hudson, NC 1959-1994 That is also IHRA Country. Gotta dig deeper for those.

A serious racer from that area would also go to Capitol and venture up to Cecil Co.

Re: Drag strips in the Arlington, Va area.
Has an older IHRA on the side, IHRA Scotchgard/3M series at some point.
Looking at side window, looks like maybe E/EM 4777, maybe E Eliminator? Would the number 4777 indicate division/area ran in?

Re: Drag strips in the Arlington, Va area.
Rockingham, NC. was IHRA and NHRA like many down South Strips were.
How about Virginia Motorsports Park? The class designation on that Vette does not look like an NHRA Class to me. The 4 is the DIV # and that would not be an NHRA # because Virginia is a DIV-1 and touches some DIV-2, I believe.

Re: Drag strips in the Arlington, Va area.
Agree Capitol Raceway in Crofton, MD and MIR (Maryland International Raceway) in Budds Creek, MD as well are very near by that area. Also a 1/8 mile track (Old Dominion Speedway) in nearby Manassas, VA saw a lot of action.
