Just found this on CompPlus...at the bottom of the first section of the article it has 3 photo galleries: US30 from '69-'79 and Byron Dragway. I haven't seen all of it yet but what I have seen so far is fantastic, rare stuff. A lot of you guys have a ton of memories from those places. Thought I'd put the link here for ya. Enjoy! WC1

Mike Sopko is a helluva drag photog and a friend of Draglist. One of these days we gotta get all those photos copied to their respective Draglist entries. Mike gave us the OK to to that (and already has contributed some himself). bp

I'll see if I can sort some of them out. When access is granted I'll see if I can match 'em up to their places on the list. A big plus is that most of the pictures have exact dates added to them, which would make it easy to find the right listing for the picture to be placed in. It's all good. Mike did an excellent job of putting that gallery together and he took some incredible action shots of those cars...a lot of work and a lot of love went into that collection...great job, Mike! I spent the better part of 2 hours looking at all of them last night. Cheers, WC1

Here's a link directly to Mike Sopko's site.
Some great pics in there including my Pinto and Corvette and my Mustang at Marion County last year.
Of course, those are my favorites!! LOL
