Bob Kurneta visited Lakeland Raceway one time in 1971 during a WHBQ Drag Festival. He saved a series of slides all these years and is glad to share them here. Click the thumbnails to enlarge.

Dale Emory's, Flying Red Baron Mach 1 Mustang, pitted on the spectator side by the crosswalk. The Chevy Rebellion is pitted next door.	Sometimes life in the 'pits' is a good thing. Dale's crew.	A 392 Chrysler was the power plant according to Draglist.	Combination wheelie bars/sparklers.
Richard Hutchins kneeling in the back.	Richard's wife or girlfriend standing under the crosswalk as he makes his last run of the day. He was experiencing brake problems (one wheel only). The look on her face says it all.	Down on power, the Chevy Rebellion couldn't get a good launch all day.	This is about the highest he got. Bob doesn't remember him sparking at all.
The Flying Red Baron isn't having any trouble putting on a spark show.	A real nice dual-quad local Camaro.	'67 Camaro vs. '68 Camaro. A popular choice for a race car from the beginning.	Moore Bros. 'Dark Eyes' Chevy II. Dig that clear hood scoop!
Yet another Camaro getting down to business.	Blank.	Blank.	Blank.
