An 18 minute video of action from Maple Grove Raceway dating 1965-1982. As indicated in the few panels of history in the beginning, Maple Grove Raceway began car drag racing in 1962 and is still featuring drags today, including the yearly stop by the NHRA in September.
I also included a few stills from my own collection taken in 2017 and 2018 to highlight the change in the appearance of the track and the cars that now run on it.
The one thing I did not know from the history, is that the track originally started as a half-mile oval track in 1937 featuring sprint cars, motorcycles, and midgets!
If you like the video, please give a thumbs up and subscribe to my channel. I would appreciate it very much.

My Uncle used to race at the Grove in the 60's. He and his "race buddies" ran a '57 Chevy(forget what class) and a shorter wheel-based front engine rail. I was only about 10/11years old, but I used to sit in the rail at their Garage and make "vroom-vroom" noises. It was pretty cool.

Thanks for watching and commenting. I thought it would be awesome for people to see the Grove in its infancy. The video is a little rough but it is almost 60 years old. Glad you enjoyed!

Thank you Nick for the nice comment! Even though I only live roughly 10 miles from the track, I haven't attended many races there except in 2017 and 18 for the NHRA events. hence the pictures at the end. I was, however, at the pool/park one time years ago when the jet cars featured near the end of the film were running. It was loud! The video clips in this film are courtesy of a friend of mine, Dale Wisniewski and his father.
