In about March 1953 the Victoria Roadrunners motorcycle club got Fannin Airport, an old World War II airfield about a mile west of Fannin, for drag racing. The club ran its first race there on April 26. A second motorcycle drag race followed on July 5, with trophies for the winners and a $1 fee to race.
