Drag racing at Double Trouble, 1958

New Jersey Courier 2 Oct 1958 Drag racing has gone about as big time as it can go in Berkeley township, despite frequent raids by Berkeley township Police chief Samuel Britton and State Police. Chief Britton, who recommended the Berkeley Township Committee notify the state Division of Motor Vehicles, said the drag races have been going on all summer on two "strips" in the township. One strip is on the Keswick Road near Double Trouble, and the other is on Bayview Avenue between Holly Park and Ocean Gate.
