So I'm on hour 11 of a 15-hour road trip and it's just past midnight. I look off the side of the Interstate and see bright lights. No, not a UFO, but a little local dragstrip in north Georgia! I got off at the next exit and back-tracked. Nobody at the gate so I drove right in and pulled up to the fence. I was a bit groggy from the drive and this was like a flashback to the 70s. There's a dragstrip, a guardrail, 30-feet of grass and a short chain link fence to lean on - just like the old days! Even the smells were the same.
