Glad to see you found your issue of National Dragster Lonnie. The phone number is a Ohio number (now a cell number). Here is a link to Ohio tracks. Maybe it is one of them or at least a good place to start.

Looks like Norwalk Raceway Park before the new grandstands and other renovations over the last 10 years........

Seeing the Winston signage (which might indicate Vintage NHRA) and the Ohio number, I might guess that it would be National Trails. Looking through fuzz in the picture, t looks like there might be a roof over the starter which would indicate Norwalk. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif

Oh yeah......216 was changed to 440 for a lot of the Cleveland phone numbers some time ago......try 440....Worth a shot. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/scholar.gif

Also that is a Heartland Auto Banner shown as well......My money is on Norwalk..
