Geocache Description:

Does anyone remember Drag City Raceway? This is cache # 3, of a series of old, or present race tracks in Nova Scotia. I am a big Nascar race fan, and wanted to put out some caches with race themes. In this cache I started out with some nascar swag. Cache is a 1.6L lock n lock. Boots may be needed during certain times of year.

Congrats to BPCachers for FTF :c)


Halifax-Dartmouth International Speedway Lower Sackville,NS

Years in Operation: 1968-1973

Name History: Drag City Raceway(1968-1969)

Halifax-Dartmouth International Speedway (1970-1973)

Track Configurations: 1/3 mile paved oval


Drag city Raceway opened in August 1968. It not only hosted a 1/4 paved oval, but also a 1/4 drag strip. Some great local drivers like, Terry Clattenburg and Jr. Hanley use to race here in the 1970. The track was located in Lower Sackville by what in now Livley Rd.The area that use to be Drag City Raceway, is now a growing subdivsion.
I placed this cache as close to the old track, that I could locate from google earth. The cache is behind the bike park and tennis courts off Rosemary



Livley rd. and Rosemary on the left with Nicks Lane going into the area.
