In May 1950, motorcyclists raced in the 10-Mile National Motorcycle Championship at the Atlantic Rural Exposition grounds in Henrico County. The winner was “Little Joe” Weatherly of Norfolk, who later turned to stock car racing and won NASCAR titles in the 1960s before being killed in a race accident in Riverside, Calif., in 1964.

In April 1967, jet cars approached 200 mph as they sped down the track at the Richmond Dragway in Sandston. In the lead was Fred Sibley, with Ted Austin close behind. The dragway was built in 1964 by the Weis family, which continues to operate it today.

The Barracuda says Walt Arfons. His son Walter Terry Arfons lives across the street from me. He told me about buying them new and making them into jet cars.

Bro, when I was like 10 years old I almost blew out my vocal chords trying to hit those notes that Mike Matijevic did on Love Ain't Easy. Sorry if I made anyone feel really old by saying that. Haha!
