Windsor Dragway was a 1/4 mile drag strip opened on August 25, 1968 with a ceremony attended by then N.H.R.A. President Wally Parks and 4,000 fans. It closed in October 1971 and to this day the pavement still sits there in a farmer's field. Many of the buildings including the concession stand, the washrooms and the score tower remain. Over time these buildings have collapsed however.

Comments

  • Some buildings are still 'standing' though. You can see them from Manning rd.
  • This is now off-limits to the public, because the Tecumseh Fire Department tests their equipment and fire-fighting capabilities here.... it's basically their training ground.
