John, Congratulations on a fine group of images, not to mention that you bring back memories of the days when I'd spend many a weekend at US 30 dragstrip in NW Indiana. It's neat how you've focused on the people rather than the cars. Your comments about women and African Americans are interesting, but I believe correct. I never saw either at US 30. Drag racing doesn't exist here any longer, the closest being in Northern Illinois and I believe they still hold the Nationals in Indianapolis. There has to be a book here somewhere.
