Notes: Grimes, an Atlanta mechanic, began racing at Fairburn in 1955 with a '39 Ford coupe. He ran a best of 103 mph in the coupe. He debuted his rail dragster on Jan. 29, 1956 at Fairburn. With the help of the Georgia Tech Auto Club, the dragster had been 18 months in construction. On its first outing, it set the track record 108 mph. On Feb. 12, he upped the track record at Fairburn to 111 mph. He kept increasing the track record until his mark of 119.67 mph was beaten by Billy Aiken's rail dragster on Apr. 29.
