BIR started out parking the pros in single file along road course, and some in grass. in the track's 2nd incarnation of pro pit parking, there were diagonal asphalt patches installed
as shown here. guessing year was around 1990? you can see the guardrail in left lane that was installed after gary ormsby's 1989 wheelstand into left side angled barrier that
was at the time still the entrance to the road track pit stalls

Anyone remember a AA/FC out of Cleveland, OH. I believe it was called Golden Nugget a Mustang body time was 1973.
Driver's name maybe Larry? He had a bad crash and the team I was on bought some parts from him. I was fresh out of high-school
at the time.

I remember that car well. Potter was getting that thing dialed in and was ready to compete with the big guys. Then he crashed in Lakeland FL and I believe that was the end of his drag racing career. I remember standing on the fence at Dragway 42 at about 1,000' when he made a test run. He shut off early but it was apparent that the car was marching really hard.
 
I wish I was a little more savvy at this computer thing. I could flood this thread with old pics...…..

Is it as simple as scanning the photos into the computer, then bringing them in with the "attach files" button at the bottom of the posting window?
