Nice photos,,Neil. I see URD # 57 is a shot of Tom Fletcher's "Checkmate" '69 Camaro.Somebody on here,a while back, was asking about any photos of that car,,,hopefully they'll see this one. It looks like a tunnel ram hiding under that towel.

Out here in Washington state,,,R.I.P. Puyallup Raceway Park,,Arlington Dragstrip
and Shelton Dragstrip (soon to be replaced by The Ridge Motorsports Park), on the west side,, and Deerpark Raceway in eastern Washington. I'm sure theres more, but it will take an "older timer" than me to recall them. I'm just a kid at 58!
