    All of these were taken at the 65 Division 1 points meet. Most I took the wheel stand photo was taken by the guy who photographed it for SS & Drag and Illustrated. He gave the picture to my friend Ray Kobel who owned the Willys

    Some real classic drag racing shots that made Cecil County such a great place to race.
