Ed,

Pulled up a picture from US 30 Dragway web site and tower picture is a match from York. A lot of good pictures from the mid to late seventies on that site. To bad the track closed. I retired 2 weeks ago from the Apple automotive group in York, Pa. They last operated US 30 and closed the track in 1979. I've often asked the owners to consider reopening the track, they know it probably would do very well but they
have so many other ventures going, many car dealerships, building products division, construction companies, land development, trash removal, airport and more. They have spent big money on all their businesses and operate all of them in a first class manor. They just don't feel like taking on this project. I used drive by the track, [airport] daily, "Cragar" tower long since torn down. Never announced there,
was always working Sat .nites at 75-80 drag-o-way. Did see many events in the early sixties, raced there a few times back then also. A great place, always fun.
