The blue 44 car looks like it's the same shade of blue as DD has on the Pace car. :darland:

Was that the last year at Plant Field? If so, I was there.

Does anyone remember the chronology of racing in Tampa during the 70s? It seems to me there was no winter racing for a couple of years after Plant Field closed, until the new Fair Ground opened. But, East Bay opened about the same time, and I was there for the first winter program they ran. What years were those events?

BTW, in mid-December, we are going to Tampa to watch one of our granddaughters graduate from U.Tampa, which is on the site of Plant Field.
