Another CSB. During the summer before my freshman year at LSU, I took my cousin to to the drag track on Hwy 190 near Livonia. They had races once a month there and the draw this particular night was jet car racing. Before the main draw a thunderstorm blows thru dropping around a inch of rain. It blew thru fast and everyone returned from their vehicles to the stands. Blowers were used to dry the track but it would of taken an hour or so to dry it for racing. The track announcer comes on and says anybody wanting to run the quater get you vehicle lined up. The stands damn near emptied and you saw everything from moms station wagon to some gear heads souped up chevy. Most of em did mutiple runs. Good times.

Was a track where I grew up for years & became NHRA sanctioned. Got shut down due to the folks Yogi talks about. Supposed to reopen next year.
Worst wreck I've ever witnessed happened there. 67 Camaro, fastest car there, & one of the best known local drivers. Wind got underneath his car and lifted it over mature pine trees 100 yards away. He was known for not buckling & he was thrown out. Could see him flying over the trees. When they found him, he had no neck, head buried some, and one of his arms was buried up to his elbow.
It was amazing how high that car got.
