Here are a few pics I found of the '78? Winternationals at Beeline. I apologize for the pictures, at 17 I had no photography skills.

Neat pics Jon...

Hey TAGuy Dave O.....cool pit passes. How about time slips?

Here's one of about 10 that I have! It's from my Nova that I ran there...

Looks like you need an Ovaltine Secret Decoder Ring to decipher that writing

Good thing you wrote it in English at the top of the slip!

Great picture of you and Lynn

Thanks Bill. Now that I look back at all of the time slips...one thing definitely pops out...I didn't know what the heck I was doing!

Mid 15's at 100mph...mid 14's at 105...

LOL

I showed the picture above to someone at work...and they asked me if that was my brother

I don't think he looks like your brother, but he does look like he's wearing a wig!

Sittin' here with a cold Heineken and a bag of tortilla chips and not ready to go out and mow the lawn--so here's a couple more abandoned strips in NorCal!

Vaca Valley Raceway located along I-80 just east of Vacaville (translates as "cow town" in Spanish) between the Bay Area and Sacramento. Opened late 50s and closed early 70s. One website said that they tried to revive racing at Vaca Valley in the 90s but locals complained.
