Great pictures!

What's the story behind the name of the track?

1/4 or 1/8?

Thanks,

Jim

The Brainerd Optimist Club was a non profit club that did a lot of community service. Brainerd is an out skirt community of Chattanooga, Tennessee. The club started a drag strip in the fifties to get hot rodders off the street and it just went on from there to the present day, they are still running every week, March through Oct. They gave two college scholorships a year from the proceeds from the drag strip.The track was a quarter mile track until 1976 when it changed to an eighth mile.

Yes Doug, I remember. Here's a pic of you in your "Silver Bullet" Mopar.

Remember the red Dodge truck you took to the Bracket Finals at Gainsville around 1980? Those were the days!

Wayne, Thanks for posting the great photos for us to enjoy. The 70 Cuda, Nice & Nasty was previously owned by Eddie Smith's brother Larry. They don't talk much now.
