Found this on a web site and was wondering if anyone knew what strip and who might have owned the cars back in the 70's

Jeff,
Looks like Byron, IL. to me, but then not much to go on?

I don't believe that it's Byron. Could it be Milan, Michigan ?

Well, I took the liberty of posting the picture over at the Pure Stock/Stock Appearing site, where a bunch of old racers hang out, and within a few hours I got this response:

Rob,

I know that old timing tower anywhere! That is Maple Grove Raceway in Reading Pennsylvania (Home of the Keystone Nationals) And I would say from the photo around the late 1970's early 1980's . The Timing Tower was removed around 1987 and a new one was built on the other side and corporate suites put in around that time as well. I raced there many times with the Bee' (4 Northeast Division 1 Bracket Finals and many Mopar Only events) Real nice facility in a beautiful part of the country.

The cars look like old Modified Eliminator class cars which are now part of Competition Eliminator.

Hope it Helps!

Andy
