Looking at their web site today and did I see Dixie representing? I saw  faces and cars that bring back memories of southeastern drag way.Sure miss that. You guys filled a void of fuel and rubber burning. {man I loved that smell}I grew up watching grudge races at yellow river and covington drag way. Don Nicholson , The Farmer,Phil Bonner, The Platt brothers, boy were those the days. You know that is what you guys are keeping alive that passion,of putting the hammer down wide open gettin-it.Hope the nitrous guys and  made us proud!!! Maybe we'll meet up again down the road! Good luck to you guys Wish I had the money to open my own 1/8 track in north Ga.that would be cool.

James, I think that you are dead on with that thought process.For the life of me I can't understand why track owners/promoters don't see that. When Dixie would come to Dallas the crowds lined up all the way to the entrance nearly. Because the track was so close to me I was there on Sat. a lot.With Gene at Southeastern I never could figure out why he would never make it driver friendly.Not being a driver but only a spectator even I seen first hand some of the obivious things that went wrong with just that. With all the money that seems to be floating around these days it just seems to be a waist that a group of people that have a common love and passion for racing could not be creative,with sponsorship,promotions,in cooporation with tracks and drivers and owners to come up with a block buster program that people would automatically come. When you guys came to Dallas there were people came from all over just to see Dixie,something worked there.James back to the match races you described it to a tee the rosin but do remember the bleach that was great to!!!

Yellow river was in Covington Ga. If you look at a Ga.map the track was right where yellow river crosses I 20.I'm on the phone with my dad while I'm writing and he brought back other memories. Does anyone remember Phil Bonner. He lives in Allphretta Ga.My father has a childhood friend in Ames Ok. who has a museum of hot rods I put my hands on some on his property and some in a old elem. school in Ames. The woman that did so well in top fuel {can't remember her name} used to drive a funny car it was a mustang its there Bob Gliddon one of his old cars is there Phil's daddy war bucks its been so long it my memory fails me it may have been his red cyclone  The snakes front engine rail with the 427 Ford in it, any way dad ran into Phil last year man he has put on a lot of weight dad didn't recognize him. He was showing one of his cars in metro Atlanta, and my father says hey isn't this Phil Bonner's old car and he said yes I'm Phil. Pretty Cool he was one great racer.
