1962 Yellow River Drag Strip Ad
This advertisement is from the April 5, 1962 edition of Drag Strip News. Drag Strip News was an Atlanta area weekly drag racing newspaper. Yellow River Drag Strip was one of the first drag strips to offer large cash payouts (instead of trophies or bonds) to stock bodied classes. This was one of the reasons "Dyno" Don Nicholson moved to Atlanta ( per Don Nicholson in a September 2002 interview ).
