Easy Street

from JoCoYo · host Joseph Smith

Strap in for the story of Easy Street Drag Strip, where Johnston County’s red clay meets American speed. We trace Korean War veteran Charles Tart’s journey from Army half‑tracks to Newton Grove farmland, where in 1957 he built Eastern North Carolina’s first drag strip from scratch. From moonshine‑chasing sheriffs to flathead Fords under homemade Christmas lights, this is the roar that turned backroads into racing history.
