Grudge match
June 24, 1965
Blue Ridge, Ga.
This shows just how fast things were changing in 1965. Barely a month earlier (see 7/14-16 posts), these cars were running in a super stock meet, carbureted, 3,200 pounds, basically A/FX machines.
AWB in progress. Sorry, don't know the source for this.

World Series results
May 10, 1965
Chattanooga, Tenn.
If you check out the video of the racing at the Double H, you'll see a black 1965 Plymouth killing everyone on the starting line. That's Mr. 4-Speed, Herb McCandless. I'm told he broke something in the driveline in the race for the $1,000 first prize. Huge bucks back then.

Where it all began
May 9, 1965
Calhoun, Ga., Chattanooga, Tenn., and Blue Ridge, Ga.
This meet is what led to the Double H Drag Strip websites -- the first, now-defunct one, and the new one, which is a big-time work in progress, and this site. Click the link to the Double H site, and you can find 3 minutes of remarkable film shot on this day. Results tomorrow.
Also, this is the 500th post on this site.

Flying south
July 23, 1965
Calhoun, Ga.
The strip is more famously known as Paradise Drag Strip. It briefly had this name, taken from its proximity to I-75. Great Southern racers here.
