I lived on Merrill Ave just off Warren 1982-84. Laid in my bed with the window open and listened to Baylands on Friday nights & the Fremont Airport on weekend afternoons. Ah the imaginings of a 10 year old boy. That Fremont, and that America are long gone. They are never coming back. The whole Bay Area is magical in my memory but unidentifiable in 2023.
Omg.... I went to RUclips to check my wireless headphone audio and this video came up. The funny thing is when the video comes on I’m the first person it shows.... wow many years ago!!!! I was in great need of a hair cut for sure!
1984 , Wednesday Grudge Night Season Winner , 69 Road Runner 440 HP/ HDTOP. We took 9 Trophy's that season. Remember the OG crew . We know who we are and who brought us all together.. I miss that shit !!
I was 10 years ahead of you. Fremont originally started the Wednesday night grudge races around 1973, to satisfy the local High School drag teams. I was from Newark High and ran my red 1964 Olds 442. By 1984 I was road racing AMA superbikes and on occasion, I'd take my Bub Enterprises (San Jose) sponsored Honda 750F to Fremont on Wed's to improve my launches, as the AMA races launch from a dead start grid. Cheers..

I lived up in Mission off of Washington Blvd.. Miss this place.
It was a damn shame when Baylands went away. I grew up in Newark and this raceway was beloved by many.
Really hoping someone out there has pictures of my Dads hemi orange 70 challenger with spartan dodge on the side!
