1/4 mile in North Richland Hills

03-19-2001, 06:21 PM

My brother works at a commercial properties/land development company in Dallas and recently brought me a huge aerial map of the NW Fort Worth area. While looking at it, we discovered what looks like a 1/4 mile dragstrip near Davis Blvd and Tarrant Pkwy in North Richland Hills. I've never heard any mention of this track (only know of the one in Ennis) and was wondering if (1) it is indeed a dragstrip and (2) if it is any good. Thanks for any help y'all can give.

That's probably the old (famous) Green Valley Raceway near Colleyville. There is not an active drag strip in immediate area. There is one north toward Denton, an i8th mile and also south at Kennedale.

Thanks, Bob. I was just curious, as I had never heard anyone talk about it before.

Definitely Green Valley Raceway. I saw Gas Rhonda go 200mph there back in the mid 60s. Back then it was out in the country.

That's why I drive a truck. And there's also enough room for an extra pair of boots, so I won't mess up my good ones kicking your *****. OOOOOOOOO! Youngters now days, no respect for the elderly!
