Looks like Kinston Drag Strip . Back in the Shade Aldridge days. I went to Sanford way back ,but don't remember much how it was layed out other than it was a 1,000 ft track. (musta been how NHRA got the 1,000 ft idea) LOL..

A very narrow one.

That's got to be Sanford. I ran all around that track many years ago as a kid watching dad & Mr. Ebern Watson hoping one day to drive a super stocker. That is the famous Ebern Watson that wheeled the one and only "Super Rooster" camaro!

You look back @pics like that and wonder how any of them survived

racing in t-shirts with cigs hanging out of their mouths in what ever they could thrown together in their garages !!!!!

Holly Ridge?

I believe that is the old Fayetteville track. I ran that car (Law and Order, sponsored by Gordon Thompson Chevrolet) at Fayetteville, Dunn Benson and Sanford, but I don't remember Sanford being that wide, and at one time, it had grass between the lanes. I believe the picture was taken in 1970.
