Temple Raceway (AKA "Little River")
is an IHRA sanctioned track in central
Texas, that has been in existence since 1957. The drag strip has covered
bleachers next to it, and is surrounded by lots of grass and large shade
trees. Back in the day, Temple Raceway was the site of many match races between famous drivers/cars, including John Force, Don Garlits, Shirley Muldowney, and more. |
