I was reading a web article about Green Valley Raceway. It had this satellite photo:
http://terraserver.microsoft.com/image.aspx?T=1&S=10&Z=14&X=3336&Y=18207&W=2
The photo was from 1995.

To get a newer satellite photo I Went to Google and got this one:
http://maps.google.com/maps?q=north+richland+hills+tx&ll=32.897894,-97.210776&spn=0.016397,0.031393&t=k&hl=en

This one is 3 to 4 years old.

So what I'm getting at is, is it still there? It looks like in the last photo there are yellow earth movers parked in the old parking lot.

If it is I bet there is a fence around it because other wise someone would take a lap on it for old time’s sake.

Yup, it's still there. Probably waiting on the goverment check that qualified it a super fund clean-up site due to all the blown motor's, dumped oil, and buried parts. I'm just kidding.

I ran at the Valley with my '56 chevy sedan delivery and a '67 Chevelle nobody knows about back in the mid '70's. My last time out there was the the very first Super Chevy Show in Texas. I'd have to check my paper drag stats file to verify the year (86 or 87), anyway it was a grand success. Graves has that date. When was it Dave?

Tom.. not sure without digging out my photos.. but I also was at that first what was then called 'Super Chevy Sunday' ..

and as for Green Valley today.. funny you should ask, I just finished helping a fellow regarding this .. go to this website .. http://fordflashback.com/lostdragstrips.asp ... there you will find sections on the two local major race tracks that are no longer with us ... these are all way before the Texas Motorplex and TMS ...
