    Mazooma just nailed it. That was taken at a long gone track outside of Houston. You used to be able to buy copies of that shot from one of the online photo vendors. If you want a copy you might just email Eddie and ask where to get one. I think that he and Ercie still run Eddie Hill's Fun Cycles in Wichita Falls, Texas and you can probably get an email address off of their website. They're very nice people, Ercie will probably be the one to reply to your email. I could go on and on about those two people and how many people they've helped and influenced positively over the years.

    I guy at the Houston swap meets sells copies of that poster size. I think they are $5, I have seen it the last few meets. He has most of the drivers identified in the picture.
