The Mission: To research, record and preserve the personal histories of the young people from here in the Fox Valley, the Midwest, who played a vital role in merging land speed racing and hot rodding creating modern drag racing. And simultaneously noting the positive benefits that accrued to the lives and avocations of these young people by the very nature of their activities and labors at the track. Jay Thompson

Writing a book is not as tough as it is to haul 35 people around the country and sweat like a horse five nights a week. - Bette Midler

James Dean

Died September 30. 1955
