1970's Utica/Rome Dragway Photos
I came across some albums of pictures taken at Utica Rome Dragway in the 70's.
http://dragracersreunion.ning.com/ph...agway-19711974 http://dragracersreunion.ning.com/ph...agway-19741978 A lot of these guys are still around Division 1 today. The most interesting thing has to be the pits - looks more like a parking lot. Hard to imagine now with all of the big rigs. And look how close they stood near the starting line... Thanks to Lynn Morton for taking/posting these.

Great shots. I recognized quite a few cars (I'm showing my age). Thanks for posting.
