I believe this is the old Myrtle Beach drag strip; however, that was a long time ago. There were so many of these strips up and down the East coast. At the East Coast Drag Race Reunion next week-end I will ask Bret Kepner, MC for the event, what he knows about the old strip. Some years ago Bret began a registry of all of the strips across the country.

Many of the old drivers, like the one who has this photo, should along with their family, attend this event. There are so many drivers who were out their in those days racing every night of the week and on the week-end who don't know about the event. There are many of us who ran on these old tracks that get together and talk about the old times and really how much fun it was. There are family members of drivers who have found out about the event only after a racer has just passed away. Look at a book called Super Stock Drag Racing, the family sedan, and see the photos in there from Easy Street, Broad Slab, Fayetteville Air Strip, New Bern, Sanford and on the inside page is Billy West and Melvin Yow at Easy Street, Kenny Warren and the Viginia Twister, Bobby Warren and the list goes on many of these folks and some of their cars are at this event.
