This is the home site of the Double H Drag Strip, a track that hosted some of the South's top Super Stock and Factory Experimental racers during its run in the mid-1960s. Check out the history (still a work in progress), photographs and newspaper clippings, and return to the early match racing days of 409s, Z-11s, Thunderbolts and hemis -- plus a few gassers and "cheatin' four-barrels" thrown in for good measure.

There is a lot to be done to complete the site, so check back often. If you have any information to add or find information that is in error, please let me know at suchadrag@yahoo.com. Thanks.

New 7/1: Page on Reece Gibbs, Blue Ridge racer of the "Bad News" Ford in the 1960s, and his son, Paul, who races today in Pro Mod. Pictures from the Gibbs family of Bad News, the Esso Special 409 formerly owned by Bob Thomas, and Thomas' Strip Teaser Thunderbolt after he sold it to Gibbs, and pictures of Paul's 1970 Cuda. Still in the works: Strip Teaser page with photos provided by the current owner of the ST Thunderbolt, plus others.

New 7/30: On YouTube, four excerpts from home movies made by track co-founder Bill Hembree in 1963-64. They are grainy, shaky, back-lit, blurry, choppy, occasionally in focus, etc., but are utterly fascinating, complete with a revved-up bluegrass/country soundtrack. This is the source for the stills on the movie frames pages. Here are the links:

Also on YouTube is a video look at the track from Sept. 30, 2007. As the track is now an airstrip, it has been extended at both ends. The video starts at what was the staging area, and ends at the original shutoff area.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TpH8EtfpA0U .
