All Harley World Shootout Story and photos by Alan Dockery ’ve told y’all I dig old country drag strips. One of my favorites this year is 710 Dragway, Pembroke, NC. Paul Watson of Lumbee Racing holds the All Harley World Shootout there a couple times a year. It was threatening rain off and on the third weekend of August, but the bikes kept thundering down the eighth mile strip. Paul has done the All Harley World Shootout for a couple years now and keeps tweaking that race and party at the dragstrip. For the old bikers who miss a Saturday at the strip racing and having fun with your biker buddies, this is where you will smile seeing that folks still love bike drags. And you young guys who like to brag about all the cool hot rod parts on your Harley, bring it to 710 Dragway “Where respect is only 660 feet away” and you can see what she will do. Don’t worry that you ain’t a racer. We will teach you what to do and help you get comfortable roaring down the strip. At every race I meet new folks who are making their first passes. With a smile, they always say they will be back for more.
Paul puts on a great weekend party at the strip with races planned for Friday night, August 21st and Saturday August
