I remember one opening day at Englishtown N.J. where they had the snow plowed into huge mounds in the pits. Temperature was in the 30's wind was howling but we got the day in.

Holy Crap! Now I know what the definition of 'hard core' is. And I also know that makes me a wuss.

Years ago.... PID opened in late feb or early march.
We still had plenty of snow on the ground at that time.
Here are a few shots from the early 70's at PID (pittsburgh international dragway).
These are Bill Truby photos.
