In June of 1966, the Central Alabama Region of the SCCA in cooperation with the Montgomery Jaycees, hosted its first of several SCCA sanctioned races. The location was at the old Montgomery Industrial Terminal, better known by its earlier name, The H&R Point – the “holding and reconsignment” point that handled domestic and overseas movements of men and supplies during World War II. The course also incorporated closed-off stretches of Airbase Blvd. and Hayneville Rd.
