My parents and our family built and ran Muncie Dragway from 1958 through 1972 when we sold it. It is still running! Would love to see if any HAMBERS have any pictures or memorabilia from that period that I would be happy to pay for!!! Trying to get a glimpse of my life!!!!! Thanks!
Ebert Get in touch with someone from the National Council of Corvette Clubs and see if they might have some in their archives of photos. Their publication, Blue Bars, has pictures of different events and I know that the Muncie dragway was popular. Ol Blue
Thanks Ol Blue. Yikes, my Dad would have crapped if he knew that the Corvette guys were at our strip!!!! (Other than Bob John Mazmanian!!!)
heres my dad racing there last year. (yeah i know it has a copyright thing). I know its not from that period, but you asked if it was still running, that would be a yes.

Roger Plate is the new current owner and promter. He is from the Yorktown area. You may want to contact him. They do a great job with promotion and running the place. Here is a pic I took at the James Dean festival. I believe it said this car was ran at the Muncie Dragway and BunkerHill Dragway.
