We have lots of memories from Dragway Denver. My most memorable was crossing the finish line completely sideways and getting a win ticket that said 96 MPH. Since I did not cross the C/L until after the finish they did not DQ me, no "excessive braking" rule back then.
If you look close behind John Mason's Chevelle you can see the plane that the track manager used the track as a runway for. That shot was the staging lanes and the plane is sitting a little way behind the burnout box.

Thanks Bill,
That's a bummer to see what the modern times has done to such a great dragstrip
, but those cool cars, and even the airplane bring back great memories as well...I'm glad that Dwayne had a co-pilot too, or that I was far away when he took that shot...ROLOL!
BTW, MERRY CHRISTMAS Bill, and I'll be up there to visit my family in 2wks...
