    First drag strip I ever went to in my life. 9 years old and I was hooked. Saw Bobby Langley and the Scorpion (not sure which one).

    Was that drag strip where the RedLine Drag Strip is currently? It might not be called a strip anymore but I grew up in the days of Green Valley and Dallas International.

    I love it!
    I think it could be the Shreve Automotive Hanks Tank A sedan at 0.10 and 0.25 andin thebackground at 0.28.Wouldn'tknow for sure, as I wasn't born until 1968. There aren't many photos of it around.
    blackrat40 posted the pic of it later in life at Caddo. The color pic is from an article on Hemmings ***led "Them Changes".

    I was there as a 12 year old on the early sixties. A couple of my memories are of Bobby Langley going 180 and beer cans for injector stacks on "Hands" 55 Chevy g***er
