California’s Inyokern Dragstrip Slated for Closure

Said to be the “world’s oldest continuously operated drag strip” the Inyokern Dragstrip was opened at the Inyokern Airport in September of 1954. Federal Aviation Administration safety regulations now being imposed on the strip have forced its closure. The strip was operated by the Dust Devils Auto Club and its website is located at www.inyokerndragstrip.com.

It is sad to see such a long standing piece of hot rod history get closed down, but at least I can preserve a little bit of it here on the hot rod homepage.
