Thanks for that link ....I was about 14 at the time and just starting to get interested in the drags .....went to Detroit Dragway many times as it was a short trip down river for me . I used to look forward to the " Sunday ! Sunday at Detroit Dragway ! " commercial ....raced there a couple of times but didn't like the " 4 wide " time trials they instituted , I guess to speed things up .

  Were you there as a driver or a spectator? I know a few club brothers were there racing their rail...Doug Woodley and Donny Douglas both of the Brantford Piston Pushers, I believe they were in Open Gas dragster class.

I drove there in a '49 Plymouth that I had. Camille Jean (R.I.P) went with me.
I had a pile of black and white photos from there but sent them to a friend down south.
Singer and Miller won the top prize.
Not like today where you can't get near the cars and drivers.
