Located near here was the original
Kanawha Valley Drag Strip, opened
in 1958. The first organized drag
strip in West Virginia, it helped legitimize
the sport in the area. The strip
benefited from its proximity to
neighboring Ohio, drawing on that
state's established fanbase. Fans
at the weekly events could see up
to two hundred drivers competing
until the strip's closure in 1976.
