Welcome to the home site of the Double H Drag Strip, a track that hosted some of the South's top Super Stock and Factory Experimental racers during its run in the mid-1960s. Check out the history (still a work in progress), photographs and newspaper clippings, and return to the early match racing days of 409s, Z-11s, Thunderbolts and hemis -- plus a few gassers and "cheatin' four-barrels" thrown in for good measure.
You'll also see here mid-1960s images from two other North Georgia tracks -- Paradise Drag Strip in Calhoun, and Lloyd's Drag Strip in Blairsville.
The site is still under construction, so check back often. If you have any information to add or find information that is in error, please contact me at suchadrag@yahoo.com. Thanks.

Also on YouTube is a video look at the track from Sept. 30, 2007. As the track is now an airstrip, it has been extended at both ends. The video starts at what was the staging area, and ends at the original shutoff area.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TpH8EtfpA0U .
