Every year we have the Gasser Appreciation race at Summit Motorsports Park during the Blue Suede Cruise. We call it that because in Drag Racing, this facility is the best of the best! Bill Bader changed the whole racing world with the reconstruction and business model that he introduced to racing. Norwalk Raceway was the 3rd track in Northern Ohio in 1974 when Bill purchased it. Now it is one of the best in the world and by far our favorite! I tend to call it the disney world of drag racing. From racer experience to fan experience there is no equal. Bill saw a strong vision to make it to the top, and was such a great man that he accomplished that and has raised an awesome family that has continued and expanded his success! I have had the pleasure of talking with Bill Sr. on a couple occasions and I will cherish those conversations for as long as I am around. God Speed Bill Bader Sr.
