Mississippi drag strip

[Charrlie_S]

I'm trying to locate the name and location of a drag strip in Mississippi. In 1960 I was stationed at Keesler AFB, at Biloxi Ms. Went to the track one time. Any of you "old timers" happened to know what/where it was? I'm trying to make a list of all the tracks I have been to since the beginning of my racing in 1958.

I think that is it. I was only there once, and don't remember very much about it. I was running a 1949 Mercury Convert, with a 303 Olds engine, and LaSale 3spd trans

Could be Gulfport Dragway located off Canal Rd in Gulfport. Gulfport is right next to Biloxi.

Gulfport Dragstrip is just north of the Navy Seabee Base in Gulfport. I don’t remember any other ones down there on the coast but I was there in the 2000’s.

I used to live in Pass Christian, before and after Hurricane Katrina. Have also lived in Long Beach and Bay Saint Louis. If you ever saw a matte green 70 ‘cuda around 2008-2010 that was me.
