First of all, I love the paint scheme on the Thomas car....is photo# 124 today or
back in the day....anybody know?

As for your photo, I've studied it for a few minutes....and my first choice was Indy
due to NHRA numbers and class on windows...but fences don't look right and
not sure if Indy had return road on that side?

If NHRA race....and Mr.Thomas travelled a bit....I'm almost thinking Niagara....

If AHRA race....could it be the other side of the Tulsa track...and same event as
photo# 115? Note AHRA banner in photo...think Tulsa switched (to AHRA) in
'69...Also think that "Drag 500" slicks were introduced...same year....

The stands/fences also look like Gary US 30, Detroit Dragway, or maybe even
NY National....all AHRA-sanctioned around '69-'70-'71....

Well, it's getting late...and there are better archivists on here...can anybody id
the year and race your photo was taken at?
