Q: I have a story about what another reader called the Fremont Drag Strip, which I knew as the Baylands Raceway. It’s kind of long, but I thought you would enjoy it.
At the beginning of my teaching career at St. Francis High School in the 1980s, Japan was eating us for lunch in terms of electronics manufacturing. One of my students said, “Well, you can’t get over any mountain pass with that Japanese piece of junk you drive.” A: Indeed it was. Then the group of boys came back with the suggestion that we drag at Baylands. The racetrack would time how long you took to drive a quarter-mile and give you your top speed. You paid $10 to go as many times as you wanted. It was called “Thursday night grudge match” and people could bring their cars, street-legal or not, and drag for fun.Q: As each of us got into the line, we were surrounded by not-street-legal muscle cars revving their engines, all brought to Baylands on trailers.
