Just hanging out in the staging lanes- Here is one that has nothing to do with Colorado Stock & Superstocks but some of these guys started in Super Stock and they all came to Colorado to race Pro Stock. Some of the young kids I know don't believe that the guy with those LONG sideburns is really Jack Roush but they also never heard of Wayne Gapp.

Drag racings version of Mt. Rushmore. Too bad Wayne is facing the wrong way. Seems like Etta always had that cigarette going. Nice shot, Bill.

Lane....There were originally stands on both sides of track then.

Stewart....Jay was racing, but also working. Not sure if he or Bill Dickey were running the track then. Zimmerman had me working tech & racemaster back then. 2013 was my 40th consecutive year getting a paycheck from NHRA. Wayne had a BB/D front engine dragster in comp. Bill ? (worked for the phone co) had the Volkswagen driven by Ron Schillereff.

Bill...I had heard rumors there were coolers full of beer back then, but was never able to find them....well, not very often. Saw Verle @ Salt Lake this fall and the red rag was still there.

Nullman now lives in Lovelock, NV I believe.
