Ken, while the proximity of the stands and the fence look similar to Lions, they're on the "wrong" side for the "long" set of bleachers relative to the starting line. Also there's a sign on the fence that says AHRA sanctioned, which I don't think is accurate for Lions either.

It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

Bob, both the spectator and pit stands at Lions in the mid '60's were approximately the same length with the pit stands closer to the strip. Originally Lions was an Nhra sanctioned strip, but lost that sanctioning due to the close proximity of the stands in relation to the strip. To my knowledge from that time forward it was an AHRA sanctioned strip. I was pretty much a permanent fixture at Lions from late '64 to '70.Ken Thomas

I (mis)spent most of my time at San Fernando, so I'll bow to your experience (and age

That's very kind of you, I think.
