Track Info:

• Property was originally a left-over WWII airfield, owned since 1948 by Bruce Mehlenbacher Sr
• In 1954 several car clubs asked Mehlenbachers permission to use the airfield for drag racing
• The clubs created the Ontario Timing Association to run the races
• The track was run by the Ontario Timing Association until 1963
• Larry Rook and Don Douglas were the leaseholders until 1963 when Jerry Hamond joined the partnership
