Jim the track you are thinking of would be Southeastern Int'l. Dragway which was located in Dallas, Georgia.  Funny Cars were a popular attraction there back in the day.  It operated from 1955 thru 2005 and is still there awaiting development, or so I am told.  It's closure was hard felt as they always had a good turnout of both racers and spectators even for weekly bracket races and test and tune nights.  It was never a high dollar track, never changed from the time I first started going there in the late 70s after moving from SoCal up until the time it closed.  It is located 2 miles West of Hwy.92 on East Paulding Drive, just past a 4 way stop on the right.  If memory serve correct there is a recreational complex right across the street, plus the area is surronded by sub-divisions.

I raced there many times back in the 60's. You could do some great burnouts climbing that hill to the starting line. Great memories!

I was there one afternoon when Richard Petty was racing his 43jr Hemi Baracuda during the NASCAR Boycott. Unfortunatly a tie rod broke near the end of a run and the car swerved into the crowd and killed a small child.

Not a lot of track safety back in those days
