The History of Airport Drag Racing
Airport drag racing has a unique and fascinating history that dates back to the early post-World War II era. After the war, many military airfields and runways became surplus properties, providing a perfect venue for drag racing enthusiasts to indulge in their passion. These expansive, flat, and straight surfaces were ideal for high-speed racing and quickly became popular among car clubs and racers.
One of the most significant milestones in airport drag racing history was the establishment of the National Hot Rod Association (NHRA) in 1951 by Wally Parks. The NHRA aimed to promote safe, organized drag racing, and many early NHRA events were held at abandoned airstrips. These venues provided a controlled environment where racers could push their machines to the limit without endangering public roads.
As the sport grew in popularity, airport drag racing events began to attract larger crowds and more skilled racers. The wide, open spaces of airports allowed for more extensive safety measures and better spectator viewing, which further boosted the sport's appeal. Iconic events, such as the annual U.S. Nationals, often featured races on former military airfields, cementing the connection between airports and drag racing.
In the 1960s and 70s, the rise of dedicated drag strips saw a decline in airport racing events, but the tradition never completely disappeared. Many grassroots events and local drag racing competitions continued to use airport runways, especially in rural areas where purpose-built tracks were scarce.
Today, airport drag racing enjoys a nostalgic resurgence, with events like the Lethbridge Airport Drag Races celebrating this rich heritage. These races bring together classic car enthusiasts, modern drag racers, and fans of automotive history, creating a vibrant community that honors the past while pushing the limits of speed and performance. The legacy of airport drag racing lives on, reminding us of the sport's humble beginnings and its enduring appeal.
