Such was the racing with the outlaws at a good
Southern outlaw track. Such as it still is today.
Dale Wilson (left) keeps
on the road which is very close to the rock
cliff of Lassiter Mountain at Birmingham Dragway.
This photo was taken in October 1966.
Joe Nick's "Big-Six"
6-cylinder Chevy raced G Gas.
Good food, bad spelling.
Hand-lettered signs are always part of the charm.
Mike Franks, who along
with father, Carlton, manage Byhalia Drag Strip
in
Mississippi, poses in front of one of several
of the family's Willyses. Carlton
Franks raced a B/Gas supercharged Willys coupe
back in the 1960s, and
Mike races several in brackets, including this
one, the former
Contorno-Houser B/Gasser from Birmingham.
