The Era of the Oswego Dragway

Mission Statement: To research, record, document and preserve the personal histories of the young people from here in the Fox Valley and the Midwest who played a vital role in merging land speed racing and hot rodding creating modern drag racing. And also to simultaneously note the myriad of 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. Whew! Jay Thompson

Nulla tenaci invia estvia

For the persistent, no road is impassable.

Slogan on the Dutch Spyker emblem (a propellor), worlds first road-going 4x4 in 1904.
