In the 1950s moonshining was quite prevalent in the south. In the decade of 1954 to 1964 more than 72,000 stills were destroyed by federal agents in North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama and Mississippi.



Some on this board probably know that Junior Johnson of NASCAR fame was heavily involved with "white whiskey".

Another famous moonshiner operated in Wilkes County North Carolina in the 1950s and 1960s. Willie Clay Call bragged that “my daddy was a moonshiner, and my grandpa was in it too”. His good friend Junior Johnson, whose own father ran a still, learned to drive fast by running shine. “Out on the highway, you’re a-runnin’ for your life.” He goes on to brag, “They never caught me a-hauling.” The revenuers did catch him once while working his father’s still and he did eleven months in the pen.

Wasn't just Junior, Buc.. and we old farts all know it. That entire sport was built by
'shine runners.

I love though how Junior has two of his 'shine cars in his museum of "racers".

God Bless and Go Dawgs
