To The Staging Lanes

Malcolm Durham and Dave Strickler in a match race at 75-80 Dragway in Monrovia, Maryland.

In the mid-1960s, Durham was given the nickname "D.C. Lip" in an attempt to ally himself with the controversial Muhammad Ali, then known as Cassius Clay. But Durham was actually a soft-spoken, hard-working individual whose storied match-race accomplishments were the result of many long hours of hard work.
