Puyallup Raceway stickers decals Dragway drag racing Jerry Ruth Pacific National

Description: Organized drag racing in Puyallup WA started in 1959 at Thun Field, a small regional airport (now the Pierce County Airport) on the South Hill of Puyallup. After several organized races, the owner John Thun was talked into building a dedicated drag racetrack in the fields (and trees) to the east of the runway. Racing started at the new Puyallup Dragway in 1960, soon a promoter took over and brought the big names to Puyallup. "TV" Tommy Ivo, Don “Big Daddy” Garlits, along with local favorites Jim Green, Lyn Welfringer and Jerry “The King” Ruth raced there often. Then came the sponsors, local speed and machine shops sponsored races and prize money. In 1970 Craig Breedlove (of World Land Speed Record fame) bought the lease and the name was changed to Puyallup Raceways as they added a motocross track to the facility. By 1978 it was over, September of that year saw the last racing at Puyallup Raceway Park.
