He at that time was operating two dragstrips and three oval stock car tracks all at the same time. Not to be stopped in 1974 he added a second dragstrip, Dragway 42, the real first four-lane dragstrip. In 1972 after ten years at Thompson, George took over 3 stock car tracks in Cleveland Ohio: Cloverleaf Speedway, Lorain County Speedway and Painesville Speedway.
