Ever raced on Runway (vids)???

The truth that sounds like a lie.

As a young kid my brother had a hot Mustang but several hotter cars were in town. I remember two that had superchargers. BB Mopars, Chevys and Fords abound. Not bad for a town of 3,000 people. One day some one had rented the local airport and was having a match race. I was so excited ( I didn't even know what a match race was). Anyway they wanted cars to show up and light the airport for the race. My brother went but my mother made me stay home. I can still hear her say " Thats no place for a 13 year old". So I had to stay home.
The next day my brother said it was a bunch of nothing. The cars didn't race they just drove up the airstrip. But they had several cars built alike. To him the best thing was seeing the 55 Chevy that had be around town for a couple of day. Later I found out the cars were from way out of town.
The airstrip is between Etowah and Athens Tennessee. The match race was a 55 supercharged Chevy and a 1970 GTO. The extra cars were film cars.
The movie: Two-Lane Blacktop.
