My first trip to a drag strip was in 1963, at Hixson, Tenn., run by the Brainerd Optimist Club, and I saw Russell Lee race. That year he was driving a '63 406 Ford, called "Great Vigah." His season-long nemesis was a '63 Plymouth driven by Max Wallace. I can't remember who won that night, but I would bet the Plymouth did. Early in 1963, we were returning from a trip to Atlanta, and ran into Wallace testing his car on a north Georgia road.
