http://www.mhraonline.org/millw.htmlThe Mill Winders Car Club was formed in August of 1955 as a result of friendships developed at the M.H.R.A. owned drag strip. Original membership started at 40 members and today stands at 29. Through the mid sixties, the clubs major activity revolved around drag racing with the distinction of having two of the nation's top racers, Don Garlits and Art Malone, as members.

I was cruisin' in my Stingray late one night
When an XKE pulled up on the right
And rolled down the window of his shiny new Jag
And challenged me then and there to a drag
I said, "You're on, buddy, my mill's runnin' fine
Let's come off the line now, at Sunset and Vine
But I'll throw you one better if you've got the nerve
Let's race all the way
To Dead Man's Curve"
....
Just a little deuce coupe with a flathead mill (deuce coupe)
But she'll walk a Thunderbird like she's standing still (deuce coupe)
She's ported and relieved, and she's stroked and bored
She'll do a hundred and forty with the top end floored
Ricky.
