Peoria has some pretty good history with both rods and racing, It was home to the first NSRA nationals in 1970. On a local forum I am on we recently had some guys that use to race at Boondocks post some of the pictures they took along the way....the track closed in the late 70's and is now just a few chunks of concrete and a starting tree stand in a farmers field.
Here is a pic from that first 1970 NSRA nationals in downtown Peoria
