This paved strip was several miles southwest of Clanton, just east of County Training School Road and just west of where Hinkle Road dead-ended at County Road 9. It had lights for night racing by late 1963 at the latest. The Swedish magazine Start & Strip included it in a 1968 list of 325 U.S. drag strips. Apart from what’s left of the starting line, the strip is completely gone.
