The Bayou Ramblers Motorcycle Club, founded in 1959, added a half-mile drag course to its oval track on Swift Packing Plant Road, a mile east of State Highway 90. It was ready for racing by May 1963. Demolition of the old Swift meat packing plant had started in December 1961. By 1964 the strip was called Lake Charles Dragway.
