The pit area in 1966. The pit concession stand is in the upper middle . The unloading platform would be above the hood of Bob Bruno's #66, up behind the front of the water truck.

A very rare shot in the latter 1960's in which the Flying Tigers have set up pits in the infield - much like the late models did in the next two decades for longer races.
